After a courageous battle with cancer, Steve died peacefully with the love of his life and so many family members at his side.  Steve was a graduate of DePaul University, an employee of Dominick's Finer Foods for 13 years and member of Local 597 Pipefitters for 26 years,  He was Dog Dad to Stella, Ralphie and Fredo and greeted in heaven by Bosco, Louie and Lucy.  It did not matter if Steve was a guest or host of the party, he was always the life of the party.
