His family moved to California when he was 18 years old and when he was 21; he enlisted in the United States Air Force. Steve was then assigned to Pease AFB in Portsmouth and in 1965, shortly after his arrival, he met and fell in love with Lucille “Lucy” Dumont of Rye. They were married in 1968 and settled in Kittery for a few years before buying their home in Rye. He entered the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard through the Apprenticeship Program and began his career as a Pipefitter. At the time of his retirement from the Shipyard in 1999, he was an Engineering Technician in the Engineering & Planning Department. After his retirement, Steve did not stand by idle, rather he worked several part time jobs, jobs where he could meet the public and interact, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Steve loved the outdoors and during the summer worked part time at Abenaqui Country Club manicuring their fairways.
