I know how intertwined Mary and Steve were and are, and how deep the grief and loss is for her. His life was also hers. I'm sending love and prayers for her and his siblings, sons and daughter-in-laws and grandchildren. I remember his warm and welcolming spirit, and his light. My sympathy to you all, and may you feel his presence still.

Steve is an awesome buddy. Always had a great smile and friendly to everyone. He told me nice things on the golf course - you’re going to have a great day- let’s have fun. Just think we are not working and the weather is amazing.
Everyone at the TPC will miss our good buddy!

A wonderful friend who always brightened the day for everyone who had the pleasure of his company. A true man’s man who was a superb athlete, thoughtful commentator on life and really funny guy. He was as good at golf as I was bad but he had the patience to play me. Many cold beers will be consumed in Steve’s memory. Aforementioned consumption has already begun with no end in sight.

Steve, Mary, Kevin

This photo is how Steve wanted us to remember him! On his beloved motorcycle. But I´ll always remember his smile and the twinkle he would have in his eye when something delighted him. He was admired by his golfing friends as one of the best golfers in the group. He was always a gentleman and made a competitive sport easy and friendly. He is missed. Condolences to Mary and family.

We are so grateful to have had Steve as our uncle. He always had a smile for our family, and his curiosity and caring showed through in the details he would remember about our lives and our times together. We will miss him, and we send our condolences to Mary and all of his family. Jay, Ella and Sean Jackson and Barb Waugh
