I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.
I met Steve at a Craft Fair hosted by Post 5702. I offered to build and maintain a website for the Post, which I did for a number of years. It was a pleasure to serve those who served and I had much respect for Steve and all the other Post members.
You are all in my thoughts as you move through this difficult time <3

Kelda and Romy,
I am writing this on behalf of the former members of Franklin Lakes VFW Post 5702. Please accept our condolences on the passing of your father.
My name is Doug Neralich, and for over a decade I was the post adjutant for Franklin Lakes VFW Post 5702. Your Dad referred to me as “the Adj.” When he said “Adj” he usually had that smile which included that amused glint in his eyes.
For more than a decade, a group of us would meet with your Dad every Monday evening at the Franklin Lakes post for an officers meeting. I referred to that group as “the usual suspects.” While a great deal of work took place at those meetings, there was also a great deal of joking and conversation. As you know, your dad liked to talk, and many of us were good listeners. We heard a number of humorous stories related to his police work, as well as a few war stories. We learned his preferred way to drive to the Outer Banks, why the Yankees were the best team in baseball (sometimes), why he liked car shows, and what his future son-in-law’s nickname for him was (Chief, I think). We also learned why a Subaru is a great car and that Liberty Subaru in Emerson is the very best place to buy one.
More often than not, his choice of discussion topics would turn to family. We heard stories concerning Kelda’s cooking ability, the color scheme for Romy’s home, and the latest exploits of his grandchildren. Those stories always reflected his sense of pride and love for his family.
Alongside him, we marched in parades, participated in ceremonies, worked car shows, town fairs, senior citizen dinners, flags on graves details, presentations for scouts, schools, and a host of other activities. We stood by your Dad and the post through thick and thin. Your Dad ‘s honesty, work ethic, and sincerity inspired loyalty. We were all proud to work with your Dad. It was an honor to know him, and we were lucky to have had him as a role model and, more importantly, as a friend.
We will remember your Dad in our prayers.
Sincerely,
The usual suspects – Jack, Bill, Bob, Mike, Frank, Charley, Al, The Adj, and through the years, a host of others.

Steve was a friend and fellow Vietnam Veteran of VFW Post 5702. Steve and I worked closely together for 30 years. He was a man of integrity, a veteran of impeccable credentials, a man of Law Enforcement with ethics and morals, and a husband, father and grandfather to be admired. I am a better man for having Steve Vreeland in my life! Dominic Stimola
