My name is Ron Fuller, I met Steve in 1988 at UPS he was a great friend and very dedicated Manager. His employees loved him. I will never forget when I was promoted to Manager in 1991 Steve Was Pacoima Manager and I was Valencia Manager. Steve would come into my office every Morning after the drivers were dispatched and tell my supervisors to handle the phones, and don't bother us. He would close the door pull up a chair put his wingtip shoes on my desk and say. What do you want to work on today. He taught me my entire morning routine never getting upset when I asked dumb questions. He was a great role model for me and I always had utmost respect for him. A great Man and a True Friend.
