Book: Danny Stein

If anyone deserved a parental medal of honor for putting up with children's friends, Steve did.  He was always exceedingly nice to me and all of Nick's friends no matter how often we ate his leftover food, drank his iced tea, and kept him up till all hours of the night.  Regardless of the commotion around him, Steve was always calm and extremely welcoming into his house.  Nick inherited Steve's best qualities of warmth, humor, and insight and I can only imagine how proud Steve was of all Nick has accomplished.
