I knew Steve from high school. We were on the soccer team. I remember one night at the hockey rink some guys from another town were giving me a hard time. Steve stepped in between me an 3-4 of them and told them they would have to deal with him first. He was so confident and brave that none of them wanted any more trouble. I did not ask him to do this - he just did. I never forgot it. I was in Iraq serving on a protection detail with NCIS when I heard he was killed. I was surprised and sad about it. When I read about his life of service, to adolescents and protecting people I was so impressed, but I was not surprised at all. Next time I am in Westborough I will make it a point to visit your grave out of deep respect.
