I learned that Steve Krychkowski, known to many as Steve K, passed away on Thursday.
Steve, who played on the football team in the 1970s, started working as a student for Bill Battershall and he was still helping athletics on game days until a few months before his death.
He was one of the first alums I met when I started working at SPC in 1989 and he was always among the first to help.
Even though he was running his own travel agency, he was at every football game, home and away, assisting on the sideline with the equipment and the training going back to a time when SPC had only one full time trainer on staff.
He was also the scoreboard operator on home basketball games for many years.
He gave of his time with the annual Kennedy Club golf outings and he probably had the best attendance record of anyone on the Hall of Fame committee.
I saw Steve frequently for 16 years and had many conversations with him and I never heard him say a negative word about anyone.
He was a good man and he is gone far too young at age 55.

Any word on viewing/funeral arrangements for Steve? Knew him WAY back when he worked at Ray's Deli on Sterling Ave. in Jersey City as a teen, back in the early 70's. Steve was a very kind person; always friendly and always willing to help. RIP.

Thank you, Tim, for letting us know about Steve's passing. It has been difficult the past few years watching him suffer and, yet, trying to contribute to the schools success. Condolences to those who loved him, and, may he rest in pease.
