It is so easy to remember Steve, mostly before he became ill and had so many struggles to be well and do the many things he loved.
Steve was always doing something besides his work at the school. He shopped for deals and was proud of his tools and kept track of things to do for Mary in the house. Wherever you looked there was a project he had completed and done with pride. But the best memory was his warm greetings, wide smile and his care of his dear mother and their home. A caring man who did not have the time on earth to carry on his many happy tasks. R.I.P dear Steve.

Steve,
Was the go to son of Mary.
Doing all sorts of chores, home repairs, restoring and a busy guy.
He looked after his Mom and as a visitor to their home I was always warmly welcomed.
It was sad to see him lose all these amazing abilities and the struggles with bad health issues.
May he rest in peace and be welcomed into the arms of Ron and Jessie
Farewell Steve
Thelma
