It's been nearly one year and Steve you were and still are in our thoughts and prayers. While we passed each other only a few times you were always polite and kind - some people never change and you are the example. I would be honored to see you again soon. RIP friend.

I remember when I was going to Village Woods Jr. High School, I was in the 9th grade. I used to go over there house at the corner of Salem Dr. and Christopher and had a huge "crush" on Peggy! She was in the 7th grade and a cheerleader! Even those it been decades ago 45+ years! She is looking good! Steve, would be like a brother and protect her! Steve, I used to see at the Country Oasis in Woodburn, IN., I was heading on my way to work at the B.F. Goodrich, Tire Plant in Woodburn, and we would talk about the good ol' days! But, he was to me a quiet person and serious.

Steve, I love you and will miss you. However I plan to be with you again as Christ will soon return and call out your name to come forth from the grave. Then together we will be caught up in the sky to live with our Lord forever. Rest well my sweet nephew, Aunt Betty. I know that Rob, Cherie and Roy all feel the same as I do. We are family and the ties are close.
