Steve was a great roll model. Many years ago I used to babysit the kids. We lived just up the road from Steve and family. My boyfriend who is now my husband for 49 yrs, Mr LeRoy gave him a speeding ticket. He was late for our date. Teaches him a lesson for being late. rest in peace. You were a great man!
