My thoughts and prayers go out to Steven's family. I have know him for a short time and i can tell you he was the kind of person that would have gave you anything you needed or ask him for.When my sister Ruby died Jan.2008 was 1 yr ago we had a benefit for her and Steve was the to offer to help out and Hightower Construction Company's name is on the back of T-Shirts we sold at her Benefit. This i do know he was a good man and he will be missed again my prayers are with you.
