Dear Steve,

I have known you for 12 yrs now and I did not know how much you really changed my life. When you read that poem out loud (Our Game), it touch home because for 12 yrs now, I have been playing stickball with my dad and I look forward to playing every Sunday with him. It is a tradition for us and will stay that way for ever. I will miss you very much and send my condolences to your family. I personally will make it my goal to keep the game of stickball alive.

The Columbus Day tournament we played was dedicated by us to you. We (the Manhattan Bad Boys) will miss you very much and will never forget the good times we share.

Love always,
Angel (Dusty) Quinones Jr., Angel (Q) Quinones Sr.
