Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!
Steve's Crew wants to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and we need you to do it!
Steve passed away at the age of 56,in June, 2024 after a brief battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Steve was full of life and always there to lend a hand to whomever needed it. He enjoyed spending time with others, drinking a Guinness and listening to the Grateful Dead. He spent his time making slightly burnt pancakes on Sundays, golfing with his sons and friends, and enjoying the “occasional” cigar after dinner. Fall weekends were sacred, spent watching the Birds and Notre Dame football. As a graduate of Villanova University, Steve always enjoyed Big East basketball, and participating in the NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket was something he always looked forward to every March. He loved being a Delaware, Saint Joe’s, and Penn State fan. Vacationing in Avalon or Sea Isle was the highlight of every summer.
We are taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
