I met Steve a week before the accident. He arranged a day of ice fishing for his good friend, Todd, and me. Steve was friendly, generous and displayed a great sense of humor. We mostly talked about our wives and kids, laughing and smiling as we exchanged stories, they were obviously the center of his life.

In the short time we shared, it was obvious Steve was a man of great character.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
