Steve and I went to St. Joseph's School in Lebanon for 8 years. He was always a nice guy. I hate to learn of his passing. Please accept my sympathy.

Prayers for the family and friends. I had some good memories of Steve when he used to stop past Muskopfs garage on a Friday night and have a few beers.
