Sorry for your loss,,, I must of been away on a trip when this happen. RIP Steve gonna miss you. Joe crow

So sorry for your loss. Steve was a great person and I remember going over to the farm with my Dad, Bill Kent, to help bale hay and riding on top of the bales as a kid. I still remember watching the tractor in the picture going by our house on Ward Avenue while he worked in the field and talking to him about the cows.

I was very sad to learn of Steve's passing. I only knew him for 3 years. I was a hay customer. What a nice pleasant person to talk to. He loved his Farmall tractors, I will miss my visits to the farm to get hay and the great conversations we had while loading my truck. So sorry to the family for your loss.

Deepest and sincere condolences to your family on your loss. I know he meant the world to Stephen.

Steve was a great friend. We liked to talk about the old times and I lived across from the farm at 293 Ward Ave.
We spent many days talking and I will miss him. What a great friend. Sorry for the familys loss. Bob Cole
