Steve i don't even know where to begin with all the memories I have of you and your friendship over the years.
We've both laughed and cried together but mostly laughed and i'll always cherish these memories.
Bobby, Paul and Timothy i'm so sorry for your loss of your father and I do believe he's been reunited with your grandparents.
Rest easy old friend.
