Another member of the old neighborhood passses into eternity. We gratefully acknowledge Steve´s military service and mourn his passing. Although Steve was several years older than me, I knew his siblings well. Sending heart felt condolences to Dale, Lynn, Ann and Mitchell. May you quickly transition from grief and instead celebrate the life of your brother. May his memory be a blessing.
