Steve and I worked side by side as machinist at Duriron Co. for several years. Steve was a great guy and we had so much fun with his sense of humor and he always had a good word and smile! I've thought about Steve many times through the years and it saddens me to find this obituary but on the other side God gained an angel! R.I.P. Brother. Judy may you and your family have peace and love.
