Uncle Joe and Aunt Sharon were always a big part of Stevens and his brothers lives growing up as a little boy till adulthood…Joe and Steven were very close and always called with the updates of his job or his recent events..
We saw Steven at many events but the best were our Super Bowl Parties and the ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNTS for Him and his brothers, which continued to our GrandChildren and Tim…..REST IN PEACE STEVEN – you will be missed…
I’ll miss our conversations about my lack of hockey knowledge ( “over chicken”), fun things to blow up on the 4th of July, how your doctor would have been shocked if you showed up with tattoos on your head after chemo, and so much more!!! Your laughter always brightened my day and lifted me up!!!
I miss you “Dude!!”
In complete shock you are gone! I started a week after you at Loy Lange and we hit 25 yrs there together back in February. It really sucks you won’t be there to continue many more crazy years here with me. Work will not be the same without you here bossing everyone around including me!! Rest Now Steve — You’re fight is over!
We will miss Steve and the love he had for Tim ,
Shelly and Dennis
Steve was one of my regular Sunday morning customers at Dollar General when I worked there. We had lots of great chats and he always made me laugh. RIP Steve!
