Dear Chromey Family,
Steve always caught the most fish, drank the most beer and had the best time on camping trips.
He had a laugh that was unforgettable. With the stereo as loud as possible
traveling down the road.
Never forget the sign above the sink that said
"kwityrbellyackin". Thanks Frank and Steve. Very sorry for your loss. Always in our hearts,
The Stephensons, Tracy,
Terry, JoAnn.

Dear Chromey family,
Steve always caught the most fish and drank
most of the beer on all fishing trips.
He will be greatly missed. He had the laugh
you could never forget, always having a good time camping. With the stereo as loud as possible driving down the road. I'll never forget the sign above the sink that said
"KWITYRBELLYACKIN" Thanks Frank and Steve.
Fore ever in our hearts,
The Stephenson's
(Tracy,JoAnn,Terry.)
