Mindy I have great memories of Steve and will never forget his kindness the first time I ever met him.i was hitchhiking from Archbold back to the LSS office across from 4 county career center. He was about the third car to see me and backed up and we had a wonderful meeting. I always enjoyed seeing him in church and hoped to have long talks with him in our old age. Best wishes for you and your family as you come to terms with your loss. Paul zumfelde
