Steve was well-liked and admired by everyone who knew him. He was a wonderful husband, brother, friend, and loved being a dad.
Steve was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer at the age of 49. He never stopped fighting or living. He thought the world of Dana-Farber and the doctors who took care of him. They brought him comfort and care at time when words cannot explain the physical and emotional roller coaster he lived.
Dr. Peter Enzinger and his staff took wonderful care of Steve during his years of treatment.
Dr. James Cleary and his research team gave us hope and purpose towards the end. Their incredible dedication to cancer research and compassion and hope for everyone who comes to them is immeasurable. Dr. Cleary met with Steve and his family to explain Steve’s disease so they, too, could fully understand what we were up against. He was honest, compassionate and knowledgeable, accepting as many questions as everyone had without any time restraints.
Dr. Cleary wrote in a letter about Steve:
“Steve was an extraordinarily brave man. He was very determined in his fight against his cancer and it was obvious that his motivation came from the love of his family. He loved to talk about all of his four children. What impressed me the most about Steve was that he always was thinking of other people. I was moving into my house while taking care of Steve. Even though he was not feeling well, he always took time to offer me advice about the house. He would try to make me feel better by saying “I am in my house 27 years and things still aren’t in the right place.”
Steve passed away in 2012, at the age of 55. Steve never gave up his battle against cancer. He will be missed, loved, but most of all never forgotten.
