I'll always remember going over to Ray and Aunt Nancy's with my dad when I was a kid. I'll never forget Steve taking me with him to look for night crawlers to go fishing.I remember he use to call my dad Beretta from the 70's show!! I know Steve is having a blast reuniting with his dad in Heaven and one day We'll all be together.My deepest sympathies are with you Aunt Nancy.I Love you.

Hearing of Steve's passing this morning is very sad. Just three days ago I told my son and his college friends of how I met Steve. We had some great times cruising Woodward and rebuilding our cars. Steve's near fatal accident years ago slowed him down but it did not change his heart and the love he had for his family, friends and my family. I wish we had been able to reconnect later in life to laugh and share the those awesome times. Thank you Kunk for being my friend so many years ago.
