Steve Ciccalone

[parkerize]

Guys. I am heartbroken. I just heard some tragic news of a dear friend of many of ours. Steve Ciccalone died about an hour ago. I will post arrangements as soon as I hear back. Cause is unknown at this time. Steve was a true friend who did so much for our sport. His contributions are countless and immeasurable. We all know the contributions he made to understanding hendersons better and always trying in his way to promote the amca. In many ways he helped form what our club is today. Steve, I will miss you good friend. Rest in peace and our prayers are with your family. We will try to carry the torch in your spirit. God speed. Anthony Rutledge.

This one hurts. I've had many a Manhattan with Steve, and his buddy Ken Thomas. Steve was going to ride his Hen out West when he first found out he was sick (that was some 10 years ago). Then he had an opportunity to get a free ride out via the Coast Guard ( I think he was scared). But when I was attached to the Jerimiah O'brian Liberty Ship for the 50th Ann of D-Day.......Steve was very excited) (( the J O'b sailed to D'day for the occasion, and I was able to see it off in SF, recieve it in England, and at D-Day in Normandy, then again at home port here in SF)) Steve was supposed to be part of all of this.
We shared interests in old bike junk, as well as car stuff. I was honored that his Labs accepted me, as I'm not a dog person.
Steve is one of the good guys. Miss you already. Say hi to Toney for us.

Shocked and saddend by the new's, Steve helped me more than once. Glad I got to meet him on a run or two, from a fellow ex Coastie "Fair wind's and calm sea's" my friend.

Though I know a lot of folks put a lot of work into the Jefferson meet, to me Steve was the face of the meet. When we would pull in late on Thursday night, no matter whether it was cold or damp or not, he would always be the one to tell us where to park it. I can't imagine the meet without him. On behalf of our chapter members, deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Big Steve RIP..

I am extremely saddened that my friend Steve has passed. Over the years he was a man amongst men. My most cherished memories of him was years ago after a few brews he would stand up & belt out a few good old irish tunes! He always was kind to me & welcomed me into his world with open arms. He always had a drink & a roof for the family. Rest in peace my friend...My condolences to his family & friends. Especially to Kent & Carole , he is non replacable in this community & surely missed for years to come. Carl Estes
