Read MoreSandy, I was so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I worked for Steve in the early 70's and remember transitioning to the computerized tax records. It was quite an undertaking, but very positive for Saginaw County. I always enjoyed running into Steve at Dr. Joe's or Meijer where we would catch up on our lives. He will be missed.

Sandy - We are sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Our son often speaks of the checker champ in memory of those checker games at your home years back. Steve always added needed humor at the court house and leaves us with most fond memories. A good guy who we will miss.

I am sorry to hear of Steve's passing. When my father was Birch Run Township Supervisor in the 70's and 80's, I know the two of them enjoyed their "discussions" of assessments. When I worked in Thomas Township, Steve occasionally stopped in the office just to say hello. I always appreciated that. He was a good man.
With sympathy,

Sandy:
I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I really enjoyed working with both of you at Saginaw County. Steve taught me a lot about government and he had a great sense of humor. My thoughts are with you.

Sandy, I am so sorry about Steve's death. I liked Steve's sense of humor and enjoyed teasing him about his comments. He always greeted me with such joy, and I missed seeing the two of you at McD's during the past few years. I left a message when I called you this morning. I will call again soon so I can arrange to see you and give you a heartfelt hug. I am so sorry about your loss. Accept my love and sympathy. Jacquie Forrest
