Aunt Jan, Uncle Marion, M.J., and my dear family, I was shocked to hear of my cousin Stevie's passing. Know that you're in our prayers during this time of sadness and celebration of Stevie's life. It's been many years since I've seen Stevie, but I hold many fond memories of him and M.J. from my childhood. I recall a wonderful time when I was a little boy when we visited your house on the 4th of July and both Stevie and M.J. bought sparklers and fire crackers for me. Not many older cousins would want to spend time with a younger pain in the butt cousin but they did. I will always remember memories like that of my cousin. The last time I saw Stevie was at a reunion at the house. He was smiling and joking with me like he had always done. I'm going to miss that and my cousin. I don't know if he had any medical issues, but now he is at peace and in the arms of our Lord. To little Stevie, my prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your dad. Hold your memories of your dad close to your heart. May God comfort you whenever you think of your dad.
Stevie!! you will be missed, and I love you always cousin.
Love Kenny

Carol, I'm not sure you will remember me but we worked together on Kids Cafe for several years. I want you to know that I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts are with the family of Steve. We worked together at the cement plant, and had some really special times. We drove Marion nuts at times. It was always nice to have the bosses son with you when you got in trouble. I now live in Oklahoma, so I will be unable to attend Steve's service. The Genovese family will always be held close to my heart.
