Dear Melanie...I was so sorry to hear about Steve. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with you and your family.

I remember when Steve took a semi-tractor trailer/lowboy up to the National Guard Armory to pick up an Army tank for a parade. I also remember him helping out at the Nokomis Volunteer Fire Dept. with the minstrel shows and BBQ fundraisers. He was always ready to pitch in. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
