Dear Battreal family,

My sincerest condolences in this moment of deep sadness. I hope that with time, all the wonderful memories with him can provide solace. I have been an employee of commercial distribution finance for the past seven years, and I just wanted to share that in a moment of great distress for all of us during the Ge merger, having Steve lead our business and represent us within the Wells Fargo community was the source of great strength and calm. He was extremely well regarded within the company, and we could all tell that he had our interests at heart. In challenging and good times, he was reassuring, but transparent and we all are grateful for how he represented and guided us through the integration. Thank you for sharing him with us.
