Steve owned Pharmacies in Dade, Broward and Collier Counties.

I coached with Coach Shafor at St. John Neumann High School in Naples.
He was a friendly, funny, generous, and all around great guy who loved the kids that he coached.
He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
My deepest sympathy to his family.

Steve´s smile, positive attitude, and lively personality made him stand out in junior high at Thomas Jefferson and at North Miami High. Always the gentleman, he looked like and reminded me of my daddy. He knew that and that he was special to me always. Steve was a true leader, and I cherish the Powder Puff Football preparation time and practices when we were so young and physically and mentally fit!
