Steve Yarmey was a Parishioner of St.Charles Parish during my 1st assignment as a newly ordained priest. He always had a "big" smile when he'd speak with anyone & he passed this on to his sons, who carried on the great job of letting the sun shine through the shiny windows they cleaned. I will offer a Mass for Steve & the intentions of all his family
Sincerely, Fr. Dan Brunton

When I worked at Harder Electric for the Cadorette brothers, Steven would come in to wash the windows and he always had a smile on his face. He really enjoyed life and I remember one day I was wolfing down my lunch sandwich and he told me to always take time to enjoy what you are eating. he will be missed
