Steve retired from PRSI in April of 2015 after 34 years of service as an oil tank farm manager and had recently relocated with his wife Mary, to Charleston, SC to be closer to family members and friends in the area. He was a gifted photographer and left behind many beautiful photographs of his experiences and those around him. He was an avid reader and student of life. Each day he read many periodicals that were delivered 'old school' to his home and kept a close eye on the stock market. He was a kind, loving, and generous man whose most valued 'possessions' were his family and friends. Steve and his beautiful smile will be deeply missed by family, friends and all who knew him. A celebration of Steve's life will be held in Charleston on March 4. Details will be provided at a later date. Donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Stephen's honor.
