Mertz as I called him, you will be missed and not forgotten. I bowled with him for some years before moving to Montana in 2008 and had many good times with our Can't Touch This team. My deepest sympathy to Linda and the family at this time of loss.

I had the pleasure and joy of working with Steve at Envirovac. He was a wonderful man who always had a "high five" for me every day I walked out in the shop. My sympathies are with you and your family.
