I was so sad to hear about Steve. As a Norview Pilot Alumni, Avid Redskin supporter and avid Kempsville golfer, as I am, Steve was always so much fun to be around. He & I were always talking Redskin football or playing golf together at Kempsville. He will be missed by so many of us. My prayers are with the Family. God speed Steve.

I had the privilege of playing many rounds of golf with Steve over the years. Many of them were profitable for us and all of them were enjoyable. He would always tell me how proud he was of his family especially his grandchildren. The Kempsville golf community has lost another good one. It was truly a pleasure knowing him. My condolences to his family. He will be missed.
