I´ll remember fondly the many laughs Steve and I shared on our HRC outings. He was quit-witted and to the point, a genuinely funny guy. Steve touched so many folks during his time with us. He truly will be missed. My sincere condolences please to his loving family. Finally, just for Steve, "Go Vols !!"

I´m so sorry to hear of Steve´s passing. I remember my mom, Gladys Patterson, speaking about him and his incredible Mama. We lost Scott this year, so I know how you all must be feeling. Praying for peace and wishing you well in such a difficult time.
