Condolence: It was with shock and profound sadness that I read of the passing of my good friend Steve. We go back so far, as do all of his friends at Congamond Lake - fondly referred to as the "Sand Bar Crew". His kindness and generosity was unmatched. Every time we ran into each other at a store or the gas station or some other place in town, our conversations would end up lasting as much as an hour. He was passionate about his friends, his family, and saving/protecting the Congamond Lakes. Steve I will never, ever forget you. I am blessed to have known you for the past 35 years. The laughter we shared during summer days spent on the "sandbar" at Congamond Lake will forever be part of my soul. My deepest condolences to his wonderful wife and family. Unfortunately I will be out of state on business Friday and Saturday so my deepest sympathies are passed along here. I will never forget you my friend. Rest in peace. Steve Dexter
