I think of the years I knew both Steve and Jo and remember them in their youth. Steve was a hard worker and he loved his family. I remember all the Christmas decorations he had. It seems like just yesterday. He was a great guy and will be missed, but we will all be together some day in heaven. Prayers and condolences for all his family.
