Steve was a wonderful person with a big smile and a big heart. I got to know Steve working together at Target in Erie. We worked side by side for close to 4 years in the backroom and I am proud to say that he was one of my best friends during my time in Erie. He always had a smile on his face and was quick with a joke. He made working easier despite the early shift we worked. He will definitely be missed and during this difficult time my thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Steve.
I graduated from HS with Steve .Seems not that long ago.So sorry for your loss as a family .My thoughts and prayers are with you .
