My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and the entire Leap family. Steve was a great guy and neighbor. I will always remember him playing my father and I in basketball. He was the one who showed me how to spin the basketball on one finger. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Leap family. I had the honor of knowing and graduating with Steve from NDBG. He was one of the truly nice people that I had the pleasure of spending two years with. Steve was kind, gracious, loyal and so excited about what the future held for him. May his memory and smile live on in all of us.
