My condolences. I knew Steve from helping at Jerry Wood's auctions. I am 24 years younger, but it was always nice talking to him at the auctions.

We are truly sorry for your loss. Steve was a friend of my Dad’s. I had the pleasure of meeting him years ago and recently spoke to Steve. I am sure my Dad greeted him with a warm welcome in Heaven.
