Thank you everybody for you kind thoughts. My dad was a great guy. He had a big impact on everyone that knew him. He is one of the most fun people that I have ever met. We always had an adventure when we were with him. I will always remember how much he taught me to be self reliant. I know he loved to be out on the road on his continuous adventure. He had many friends all across the country and will be missed by all. So thank you all again and smile whenever you think about Steve.

He was truly "one-of-a-kind" and will be missed by family and more friends then he may have thought he had. I always enjoyed his banter, his wit and that unassuming, sly smile that warmed you over. If you were a friend there's nothing he wouldn't do for you... and if you weren't a friend, hang around a bit and you would be. Sorry to hear of his passing and the world shrinks a bit with his loss. Best to his family in these trying times and know that our thoughts are with you. I am lucky to have known him as I did.
