I challenge any other school in the country to see if classmates show up at a funeral for someone they didn’t even know. Another reason to be proud to be a graduate. I didn’t know Steve either, but I would have liked to. Gary,

Reider, Jr. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:54:52 +0000 http://buglenotes.com/?p=406#comment-170 I did not know Steve at school. I was at the funeral home tonight. I felt out of place at first, not knowing or recognizing anyone. Within a few moments, Steve's Dad introduced himself, because he didn't know who I was. I told him I was a classmate of Steve's from the Academy. His face brightened immediately. I spent over an hour and a half talking with him. He told me stories of Steve from the day he was born until the day Steve left us. His Dad seemed to be holding up well, but I think if he met more of us tomorrow and Monday it might help him keep his spirits up. I have two events that I have to attend on Staten Island during the day, but I'm going to make it back tomorrow night to support Steve's Dad and family. Gary I did not know Steve at school.
