I'm very sorry to learn of Steve's passing. He was a good friend and a great family man. He was the only 'older guy' to never take the ball from me at the playground. My condolences go out to your entire family. Steve will be missed.

Steve will be dearly missed. We had the pleasure of seeing him with his wife, Barb, his brother, John and wife, Carol, every couple of years when they visited Arizona. My heart is broken right now .... Steve was a wonderful man and so laid back. He will be truly missed.
