Steven Allen Taylor

My sincere sympathy for your loss. We have never been acquainted. I met Steve in 1969 when we were both freshman at UWM and used to dine together in the Holton Hall cafeteria.

Hi Jeanette and Family,
Harry & I are really sad to know that Steve is not with us any longer. We have such fond memories of your whole family. Steve is such a wonderful person. He will be truly missed.

Derris, I know our friendship at such a young age seems like it took place in another lifetime. I tried to find you on Facebook but it turns out...
