Steve Sundstrom "Nine"

STEVEN SUNDSTROM RIP

Steve was a good guy. A surfer dude who trucked around Ocean City and Somers Point with a six pack in a back pack.

He always had something nice to say about me and what I wrote about, and always complimented me on my writings.

For awhile, when he was down and out, which was pretty much all the time, Walt Gregory gave him a job doing odd work around Gregory's, like folding up the empty carboard boxes and cleaning out the trash bins in the back. That was just to keep him going.

God Bless Steve Sundstrom.

If anyone has a photo of him I'd like to post it.
