Steve was a wonderful cousin and Father. I enjoyed playing with him and all our cousins at family gatherings when we were younger and talking about our careers, kids and life in general when we got older. He was warm, funny and had a generally charming personal. He was a big part of our "Wende" family and will be greatly missed. I am thankful for the memories...and prayers and love go out to his children, parents, brothers and all of our family and friends mourning the significant loss.
