Steve was one of the first people I met when I started at H&V. A class act with a compassionate heart, I remember how important the "mill cat" was to Steve and how he would make sure the cat was taken care of when he was on vacation. I will always remember Steve as a real nice guy who would help new people when they started at the mill. I feel privileged to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
