Steve, your smile and positive personality were always a joy to be around. When you and Ronnie would come to fix the lab refrig or clean the ice machine we all knew that it was not going to be quiet or dull in the office as long as you two were around. One could always tell that your daughters and wife were your world by the way your eyes would start dancing when you would talk about them. What a loving man you must have been. You always amazed us with your postive outlook on life while battling cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your loving family.
Well done good and faithful servant!!!

Oh, Stevie.....we had something good going on. Really good. Why did this have to happen to you, of all people? You have no idea the number of people who love you. Well, you probably do now.
Everything we did, either together or as a family, over the last 16 months was a way of saying goodbye - the family vacation to Florida, our vow renewal, The Pet Circus, the magic show, pulling Mallory's first tooth with pliers, the Daddy-Daughter dance, you driving your Ferrari. I'd say we packed a lot into those 16 months, huh?
The stories and memories of you will help us all to laugh and to heal. I miss you like crazy and I will always love you.
