I have read numerous obits and this had got to be the best written one I ever read. I'm sure it was a group effort and it was definitely from the heart.

My sister's (Stephanie and Sharon) would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Stevie's Wife, children and Grandchildren. And a Big Hug to Dot, Stosh and Johnnie...Sincerely, Sandy (Barisewicz) Dyer. [email protected]
