Yesterday
Steve was my high school buddy at Ft. Loramie's class of 1964. Always will remember the Saturdays that I biked 5 miles to his home at the lake to go fishing at the spillway on Lake Loramie on Saturdays during the summer. Sure wish we could have spent more time together in the later years.

My sincere and deepest condolences to Cindy and family. For the bible tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I'm going to sincerely miss my friend (neighbor) Steve. He and Cindy are just "SPECIAL LOVING PEOPLE"
Steve was such a great hilarious man...Love you all and I'm continuing praying for all of you during this time of bereavement.

Steve was my boss at Pioneer- he was a really fantastic, fun & great person. I also learned a lot from him- he was quick with a joke, encouragement or whatever was needed. My thoughts & prayers to Cindy & family.

Steve was my boss back in the Pioneer days. We became friends and he was just a wonderful guy. He taught me so many things along the way. He is the one that told me I could grow potatoes out of a trash can, and he was right! He was so funny, smart, hard working. My husband and I kept in touch with him over the years through Christmas cards. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. R.I.P. my friend. I´ll see you again one day.
