Ellen and Family,
We have such fond memories of Steve. He was a great family man indeed. He had such a way of making you feel at home and feeling a part of the family. We have wonderful memories of Steve singing Irish tunes and ballads around the kitchen table on many a night. So much fun and so much friendship will be a part of our memories of Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
