We will always remember Uncle Steve on our fun vacations to Florida, S. Carolina, and of course the Smokey Mountains! What fun we had when the kids were little on those trips--playing miniature golf, driving the little cars around, hiking,.. Uncle Steve was always up for anything. We will miss him!
