"Aunt" Shirley and "Uncle" Steve were actually great-aunt and great-uncle to my sister and I, both in title and how they interacted with us. I'll always have fond memories of Uncle Steve playing Uno with other family members in Atlanta at Christmas. He was always the one that included me in the card games with other adults. I'll miss you Uncle Steve.

I have a lot of fond memories of Uncle Steve, especially of fun Thanksgivings. One image / picture that has always stayed with me is one of him asleep with Sugar - our old Golden Retriever. Uncle Steve was always smiling, laughing and caring. I will miss him! Love from Lara.
