For Steve, wherever we may go after our time here has ended;
It was cool, having an older cousin who did the things you did.  I will remember the times at Christmas at Libbie’s house on Ehler street. Now that you and Jeff are gone, I guess I am the last of the male members of the extended Parker family .   Maybe in the next life I will finally make it to the cabin at Wallenpaupack.

SteveO. You will never know how much you meant to me and my family. The love you and Mary showed us over the years, and the knowledge you both shared will never be forgotten. It is a pleasure to be in your presence and to be your friend. We were more than friends we are family. You will be missed by all.

Mary
Mary, Mary, my deepest sympathies in Steve’s (Stephen) passing. He was my dear friend, a musician brother from Stroudsburg, PA. He headed up my first band “Briars” playing the frat parties at E STBG. U and around  beginning in 1965. His family, and then as his wife, you, were my Xmas night destination visit for several decades. I cherish my visit to the lake (Wally) in ’83. I think of those times often, and hope you will hold close the good/fun things lived with Steve. I looked forward to Xmas card updates. I am in a blurr upon learning of this. God bless Mary.
