I am so sorry for your loss. Steve was such a sweet and loving man. He always made me feel like I was family and I appreciated all of the invites to family functions -- holidays, cookouts, and birthdays. It was evident how much he loved his girls and his grandkids -- an awesome dad and grandpa! I will miss his big hugs and smooches on the cheek. He will definitely be missed but now he is reunited with the love of his life.
