Steve was a great man, who was hard working and rooted in God and family. He blessed others with his knowledge and kindness. I am sure he is loving being reunited with his wife Nancy in Heaven and dancing with the angels while smiling down at his children and grandchildren.

I am saddened to hear of your loss. I didn't know Stephen but I know his son Tom, one of the very finest men I've had the privilege to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
