I worked very closely with Steve for the entirety of my career at Harvey, more than two decades. Steve was extremely passionate about his work, very talented, and had a knowledge of the industry that could compare to almost no one. We all depended on Steve. He mentored most of us and helped make Harvey what it is today. Equally, he was sincerely caring and compassionate about family, not only his own but cared very deeply about the families of each and every employee he spoke to. The smile on...

Steve was a sincere gentleman and a very talented professional. It was my great privilege to get to know him and call him a friend. He will always be remembered with a great smile, a kind word and a tremendously positive attitude. He had a great personality with a wonderful sense of humor and quick wit! Steve was a customer of mine for nearly 25 years and I learned many lessons from him during that time. Most importantly how much he valued family over all else. I will truly miss...
