I worked with Steve for many years at Hartvigsen. He was such a great guy. He has been "Santa Claus" at our house for the past 8-9 years. I will miss his calls at Christmas with his "ho,ho,ho Kathy What's up?" and then catching up on family things. Murial, Stephanie, and family I am so sorry for your loss. Hold his memory close to you heart and know how much he talked about all of you and loved you. Sincerely, Kathy McDermaid

I have known Steve, as "Santa Claus" for the past roughly 8 years. Our girls just adore that Santa and I know we will never forget singing songs with him as he jingled his bells away. Condolences to the family. Our family Christmas party will not be the same without him there. Much love.

We are so sadden by the loss of this fun loving man. We shared grandchildren and it was a joy to get to know him through their eyes. He loved his daughter Stephanie and her family so much! He spoke often of his adventures with his loving wife Muerial. Loved her family and the time they shared. We will miss his visits but we know he is found a fishing hole in heaven!

Stephanie, I'm so sorry that in just a few years you've lost both of your parents. It just doesn't seem fair. It breaks my heart for you. When I look at your dad's obituary picture, I had some memories of him. Not quite sure where or when but I do remember him when we were children. I know he had many friends and family to welcome him home and I also know that families can be together forever!
