I sure miss Steve. Before I knew Steve he was my image of a Bagpiper I attended several military funerals and witnessed Steve play Amazing Grace as the service member went home, so very powerful to witness. I put an event together in 2009 for my dear friend Glenn McDole and asked the pipers to be a part of it. Oh my God they all showed up in full dress truly a site to behold. That evening was my second or third time speaking with Steve I ao enjoyed talking with him. I have several great...

Steve was a person I could depend on when I lived in Leon. I owned a cafe and he helped me several times.. I sure his family and friends will miss him... God Bless

I remember Steve playing the bagpipes at my Father's funeral. Steve played them with such beauty. I also remember Steve being so kind to our Mother in her time of grief. I will never forget the beautiful bagpipes playing as Steve walked away. Rest in peace Steve knowing that you gave such comfort to so many in their time of grief. My prayers go out to the family.

Steve gave of his time to play at funerals of our soldiers. He came to Northwest Iowa in September of 2006 and played at the funeral of PFC William E. Thorne, our son in law. He was a wonderful man and had a generous heart. Our thoughts and prayers to his family. He will be missed.

God bless you Steve and your family. I had the opportunity to work and attend both Veteran and Firefighter funerals that you played at and have the wonderful experience of talking to you on several instances. What you did for the fallen and their families was wonderful and you will not be forgotten. Go in peace my friend! God Bless your family!
