Dear Sue, I don't know if you remember me. I worked with Steve and yourself at Montage. I worked the alcohol security with Steve as part of Rod"s crew. I worked the main bar next to the main Food Stand. I remember Steve as a stand up up guy. Do anything for you. Sorry I could not see you in person but I will remember Steve in my prayers.

Steve's Family - Please accept our deepest
sympathy. Steve was a good man, a one of a
kind type person. We will surely miss his
almost daily visits; some with a little humor and some with "I need assistance mode
when he couldn't quite figure out his prob-lems. But he always had a determined outlook and the ambition to match. He will
be missed.
