Wow, I have several memories of Steven from back in the day. We almost burned his kitchen down trying to melt wax for a science project. I can't believe he's passed away. So sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and bless you with His peace!

Dot and family...this really hit close to home with me. When someone from your own neighborhood passes, it's tough to deal. Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you all. Steven was such a good guy...he will really be missed.
