Steve was a good person and a good friend. He died too soon. Cars and sports were high on his list. After high school he tried college at Beloit, but missed home and returned after his freshman year. He didn't find what he wanted at home either so he joined the Air Force for 4 years and came back with a wife and a son. He went bac kto school and graduated from the U of M and then went to work for his father. We had lunch and breakfast on a regular basis. Steve was the photographer for our family Christmas cards for 20 years. When my father died in 1962 Steve's family sent our family a seven course meal from Jax restaurant in N.E. by cab. All the card said was to the Rosso family from the Ziskin family. We are thinking of you.I had breakfast with him the day before he died. I think of him often. I miss him.Bill Rosso
