Linda and entire family,

I am so sorry about Steve - he was such a good guy. He had a great sense of humor and I have fond memories of growing up with him at St. Davids. I hope that good memories and your faith help you all through this very sad and difficult time.

Smeltzer Family,

I had the privilege of meeting Steve at our work building(225 Lincoln) we worked in same building for a few years, we would meet on our breaks outside. Steve was a great guy and always had family stories to tell, he really loved his family, we had many stories about our family pets and all the crazy things they do and had many good laughs over them. My prayers our with the whole family and Steve will truly be missed.
