Over Steve Cox and my 32 years together I heard many stories of the Scheffer family and many good times.Steve Cox always felt that it was his second home. I know Steve cherished all of those memories until he passed. I am sure both Steve Cox and Steve Harris will meet up with Gus and laugh about the " 3" Steve's. Please accept my sympanthies and may you feel the peace that they are in a be tter place where there is no pain .
