I´m so sorry for his family loss. He was an awesome person I remember him talking to me daily about cutting and coloring his hair a crazy color when he found out about the cancer. Can´t believe he is gone. Sending love and prayers he would talk about his daughter and grandchildren all the time

I´m so very sorry to read this, and 10 days later. I had missed his posts, and was going to send him a text! I had the privilege of buying my Subaru from Steve, then working with Steve at Lowe´s. What an awesome, fun, everyone loved him, kind of guy. My prayers go out for his daughters, son in law, and those precious grandsons. I miss you my friend, Steve!

My name is Marcy Connors and I would like to share many memories, but one that is very heartfelt! Steve had a big for sure!
When I was going through cancer treatments my 25 year old Ford truck had major electrical issues. Steve made it possible to sell my truck and gave me leasing opinions, even though I had bad financial issues. He made it possible for me to lease a reliable new Subaru. Because of him, I was able to no longer stress over these 4 month treatments and he always came by the Art Crossing studios to see, if I was okay! Thank you Steve for believing in me and my artwork!
