Susan,
Steve was, and remains, one of the funniest and sincerest people I have ever met. He was a great friend and teammate. With Steve, there was never any question about figuring out the right thing to do in any situation. Please accept my condolences as we grieve with you, all the while knowing that he is celebrating in a new life altogether.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I grew up in Cheraw and Steve was part of a wonderful family from Cheraw. His father was a great principal at the high school and his mother was a superb teacher.
