If ever there was a man who cared about his grandchildren, a man who was filled with giggling laughter and incredible stories, an impressive man who left a legacy, it was this man. I was blessed to have met him and spoken with him, he was a really cool guy, and I my heart and prayers are with his family.

I am so glad I got to see Steve a few years ago. It had been a very long time. He hadn't changed at all. Still the friendly guy who put up with a much younger cousin. RIP Steve. You will be greatly missed! Til we meet again!
