Hard to believe a friend you have grown up with is gone. Remember Steve as always having a smile and always showing concern as your friend. His sons are lucky to have a Dad that cared even thought he had hard times of his own. God bless.

Aaron & Matthew you don't know me but I worked with your Dad at Culpeper Wood years ago. I just wanted you to know that your Dad loved you both very much! I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort your hearts!
