Sheila, Stevie and all of my relatives on my Dad's side,
Steve will be very missed by all; but certainly never forgotten by all!
From very early on, I always thought of Steve as a true "stand up" individual, husband and father.
Steve became someone that I looked up to and always welcomed the opportunity to see and catch up with.
I am sure we will all have that opportunity to do so again in our futures.
My thoughts and prayers to all, Mike
