During the last year I recall on so many occasions that I would speak to Steve and be told that he had to get off the phone so that he could finish a hand of cards with his father, Ed. Life is made up of millions of small moments which make life great and make memories greater. I know that the memories your family created with your husband, grandfather, father, brother, uncle and son will last forever and into future generations. He was a good man as evidenced by all of you. Love to your family. Tom and Hallie Herz
