I want to say I am so sorry to hear of Steve´s passing, I just found out from my fellow workers at Imperial Electric in Ohio. Steve always helped me in the Quality department on any project I was working on. Loved his stories of the lake house and his grandchildren, he will be missed.

Oh Robin, my condolences to you and your family!
You know I met Steve through my husband and work. He was first my friend then my supervisor. He was very knowledgeable about his job. He taught me so much! We would go out for lunch and also takes breaks together with our "group".
We talked about everything. Our families, his friend Rodger, Ming, his brother and sisters and of course how proud he was of you and the girls! We talked about the fishing trips, the canoeing trips, the Lake House, Olivia's graduation, cheerleading, oh my goodness, the list goes on and on!
My favorite stories are when they ended up with us laughing so hard we had tears running down our faces!
He was a really great friend and I will miss him very much.
Please let Kevin and I know if there is anything we can do for you in this time of sadness. I would be honored to help out because that's what Steve did for so many people.
