Loni,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We would have liked to have been at the visitation but we are in Florida. Jim has many great memories of Steve. Jim played basketball with him and saw him at school board meetings. He was always so friendly and welcoming. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Thoughts and great memories of Steve and our college life together...a great friend, a great college teammate, we spent almost everyday together during our college school days for four years competing for the Milton College Basketball program. Five of us were recruited together in the same class, stood by each other for four tremendous years, and graduated together. Wendt, Lallensack, Kingsley, Herrick, and Holquist. Steve-you'll be missed, love ya brother.

He was a gentle giant. We always had great conversation for the last several years each and every Wednesday when he came to our dealership to sell advertising. We will all miss his humor. A truly good man.
