I first met Steve as a UPS driver when I delivered to Bill’s shop. At the time, we both liked wrestling and went to Memorial Hall in Springfield once and saw a match.

Steve will always be remembered in this household . He and Mike worked together both at AFOG and again at the museum. Mike would almost daily bring home tales of Steve's outrageous sense of humor. We were blessed to know such a ornery human. Our thoughts are with Maryellen and the family. Mike and Karen Douglass
