I think about Steve often. I miss our lunches at Carla's when I was chief in Big Bend. I could really use our time together

Mrs. Bell and family, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bell. He and all of you were such a part of my life growing up, and I still miss all of you, even though I haven't seen you in so long. Mr. Bell was a wonderful man and we were so lucky to have you as neighbors on Broadway. God bless you and bring you comfort during this time.

Mary and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I always remember Steve's smiling face and laugh at work (Waukesha Post Office). I also enjoyed seeing you at Tori's baseball games. My sincere sympathy.

Steve was a very close friend. I enjoyed our conversations when I was in Big Bend tremendously. We even remained in touch via email since my retirement. I will miss him very much.
