Steve and his wife Mischelle moved to Congamond Lakes in 1998. She would meet up with him at the end of his work trips where they used vacation time to explore the world. They traveled the states and many countries, but Steve was a homebody at heart. He loved to read, watch sports, and keep up on current events. He enjoyed Taco Bell, chopping wood, pickleball, entertaining, swimming, boating and camping with our Hammonasset Camping Crew. His favorite teams were the Red Sox, Giants, Rangers, and Uconn basketball. He loved his immediate and extended families and especially his Sunday phone calls with his mother.
