The one time I met Steve, it seemed we'd known each other for years. He made me feel special and appreciated as Diane's friend.

My father lived every day enjoying the company and accomplishments of others.

To the family of Steve, please accept our condolences on his passing. He was an exceptional man. He used to bowl with the Fun Bowlers of Leisure Village and that is how I met him. May he rest in peace.
