I am so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. I worked with Steve for several years in the KyANG. He was a good and gentle man, a HUGE UofK fan, and a crossword-puzzle wizard. May he rest in peace in God's comfort!

Steve will always hold a special place in my heart. I was in the Ky Air National Guard for 29 years and Steve was my first supervisor. He was a caring and lovable man who touched so many throughout his life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Joy and Buddy.

Steve was an important figure in the Guard family. Everyone knew and like Steve because he did his job well and he didn't complain. He was supportive of all the Guard activities. He will be missed.

I knew Steve almost from day one, he was a good friend and fun to be with. Many years and hundreds of dollars were spent at the club shooting craps and drinking beer. I hope to see you later Steve. Harpo.
