I became friends with Steve over the last couple of years at Briggs. We would talk over lunch (when he didn't go to his parent's house) or we would stop for a beer once in a while. We always ended up talking about some crazy adventure from days gone by, or remodeling the house (the man-lodge)or about how proud he was of Sam, or how worried he was about Sam, or the bike trips he took with Sam or how fast Sam was growing up. I miss those conversations and I miss Steve.
Sam, I'm sorry I never met you and I'm sorry I am not more of a support to you - and mostly I am so sorry for your loss. If you ever need anything please let me know.

Words cannot express our sorrow and sympathy for all of Steve's family and friends throughout this tragedy. Thursday was a mournful day for our family when we received the phone call from Andy. Steve had a robust laugh and an incredible love for life. He will be forever in our hearts and always in our memories.

To Sam, Heidi and Mr and Mrs Rolfer and family please accept our deepest sympathies from everyone in the Perreth familiy.

Steve was at one time or another my neighbor, classmate, roommate, boss, peer and above all else the epitome of the word friend. No one anywhere had a bigger heart. And that is what we'll miss the most about Steve.

To Ralph's family and friends:
I worked with Ralph at Briggs and we shared the same passion for riding Harley's. I was saddened to hear of his passing. May he ride in the wind forever.

Sam, I'm very sorry for your loss. I only met you once, but your father and I were best friends since the 8th grade. He was a good friend, a good man, and will be missed by many. My condolences go out to you, your grand parents, and your aunts.
