Colleen, our hearts go out to you and the family...we just heard the sad news. Steve will always hold a special place in our hearts--he was a rare gem. I am so glad you both had time together, I will never forget your wedding day...what a beautiful pair you were that day. I can still see the two of you dancing and Steve singing in your ear...we shall miss him very much, as I know you do. We also have the hope that we will see him again, and sooner than we know. We are praying for you to hold on until that day....Love, Ken and Sue

Steve was a wonderful person. We had many fun times and laughs. We worked together and he made work seem more like play. We had a great group we worked closely with and I loved Steve's humor, and his high quality morals. He had high standards and that made him so much more of a wonderful person. I have not talked to him for a while and I just want you to know Colleen that he had many people who loved him and I was one of them.
