I want to send love and condolences to Steve's family. Some of my earliest memories are of him. Throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Tickling and teasing me. My Dad parking next to him and Judy at the Drive-in and threatening to have Julie and I sit in his car. Giving me one of his hats when he was home on leave because we were both S Hoke. Hanging out at his house on Watervliet babysitting Heath and Holly. Catching up with him after church when we came home for visits. The conversation we had in the car on the way to my father's funeral. So many wonderful memories that I'm having a hard time choosing just a few. My thoughts are with you. Love, Staci
