Teresa and family:
I am still in shock over Steve's passing. I always thought so highly of him. He was a role model for many. As a college fraternity brother, I idolized Steve and always wanted to be like him. He was always kind, intelligent, caring and willing to be a friend. I treasure that and will always be in my memory of Steve. He is a model for how a person should be. Attending his funeral made me realize how great a person he was and how much I missed by not connecting with him over the years. What a beautiful family! I know Steve was so proud! My sympathy to the entire family and please let me know if I can be of help or assistance in the future. I will never forget Steve. Sam Ison

Mr Steve--may you rest in peace, my friend. There was a song a few years back about the good dying young. You were a class act and someone I always admired for your ethics, hard work, humor, and respect for others,and love of family. (other when you made fun of my cowboy boots)

Guess you're with Mr Pugg, now.

To Teresa and family--know this a tough time-I'm so sorry about your loss
