My wife and I have known Steve and Sharon since the early 1980’s. They were as kind then as they are now. In my book, anyone who goes out looking for children, with the intent to help them live their Christmas fantasy, has a great reward waiting for them when they leave here!!Thank you Steve and Sharon for your selfless service.

I had such a fun time photographing Steve throughout the year as he transformed himself into Santa. And how I loved interviewing him and his lovely wife, Sharon! Thank you, Steve, for your good heart and your determination to do good things.

I worked with Santa Steve (before he became Scrooge) at the American Cancer Society. When an accident sent me to the emergency room with a smashed toe, he couldn't watch the doctor zap the nail so the trapped blood could get out. He's always been a good man and father, i am so pleased to see he's going strong.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY! I appreciate Santa Steve and his goodness. The decision to solve his own problems are amazing to me. Thank you of sharing this story, We all can change and take care of our spiritual disabilities. Just has John Steinbeck finally came to the conclusion towards the end of his life, that people could change and have a new heart, as shown in his later work EAST OF EDEN, Steve has shown us the same pattern.

I am the proud daughter of Santa Steve. I love to watch him this time of year especially. He brings joy to others but it's nowhere near the joy you see in his face when a child gives him that sheepish grin.
