Steven E. Cowan

You were a celebration of life to be around when we were growing up. Both born on the same day, we shared summer camp and a lot of wonderful and interesting conversations. Your humour and friendship will never be forgotten. Norm Davis

Rest In Peace My Friend.

Steve and norm and bill and I palled around together quite a bit in the old days. Days at the muscatine sand pits and nights at the draught house. Couldn't have a better friend.vaya con dios

I met Steve working at Case Bettendorf, Steve callef on day and asked me to go look at an old Porsche. When he saw it and got in it, I didn't know what to think.

Steve, a long time of first Michael's as they cleaned the church together as junior high schoolers and remained friends til the end. And I met Steve in 1984. He was our best man. We spent many years on our boats, parties New Years Eve and we visited each other frequently. So many great memories. Steve was an excellent chef and made the world's best cheesecake! Rest easy, dear friend. Until we meet again, rest easy. Loved by so many. He loved my chili recipe and I always felt honored...
