  1. Steve your passing has brought me great sorrow. We have been friends for more than 30 years. I’m going to miss playing games with you and I’m going to miss your jokes. You were such a funny, sweet, kind guy. I’m praying for your sister and family during this time. Fly high with the angels my good friend until we meet again I’ll be saving a game for you.

  19. Uncle Steve we only wish we had more time with you. We love you and miss you! Thea’s thoughts to you is that you and hers night rides will forever be cherished in that little girl’s heart. For me it was the acceptance you gave me the first time we met. I felt out of place but I remember you saying that we are all family here if Mikey likes you then we all will like you, you got yourself a good one. Those words I have always cherished and still do. Prayers for the family and with aunt kathy

  23. I am still in shock to know that we lost such a wonder human being. Steve, Sandy and Leroy have been in my life for 49 yrs. Steve was one of the most genuine, sweetest, loving person I have ever met in my entire life. We have many many memories and not of them was not great. My heart hurts and im still in disbelief. My heart goes out to the entire family and friends. Steve will be so missed. The only thing I can think that God took him so soon is he needed Steven to be an Angel to watch over his loved ones. I will miss u Brat. I will never ever forget u. See u one day.
