Steve's Family,
I spoke with Steve numerous times while working at Barnes Manufacturing and also after I left Barnes.
It was a pleasure to speak with Steve and I always looked forward to calling him at Schimberg.
The friendly manner in his voice made my day every time I spoke with him. He always made whatever we needed enjoyable and helped me out many, many times.
He is a special and amazing acquaintance I shall never forget.
D. Paul Wilcox Jr.
