Linda, Stephanie and Johnny. Matt and I just heard about Steve. I cannot tell you how deeply sad we are. Some of the best memories I have is of our boys playing baseball together and Steve there helping to coach. He was a wealth of knowledge and patience. I just know he and Mike Laughlin are now together in heaven picking a team to coach!!! We will forever hold your family in our hearts, memories and prayers. Our love to you all.
