What a larger than life person, he will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones during this time.

Dear Luann,
Joe and I were so sorry to hear of Steves passing. What a wonderful man! He always gave Joe and me the "giggles" at the wrong times. His booming voice will be so welcome in heaven. We love you and pray for peace to you and your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of Steve and pray for the family. Steve was a wonderful friend and co-worker. I enjoyed visiting with him and I was always so happy to hear him singing when he came into the office at KHS, it always put a smile on my face. He will be greatly missed as he always had a positive attitude and wonderful personality.
