Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of his passing. Steve was a driver/shuttler out at Ord for Budget, GCA and ABM before retiring to take care of his beloved wife. I remember him fondly telling his proud marathon running yearly up in Wisconsin in his off time. He bragged about being first runner in win in the over 85 age group. He also bragged about his military service as well. Sorry for you loss may he rest in peace until the next race starts in heaven
