Steve I had fun working with you and our talks we had from retirement to family. You will be missed by many but not forgotten. I will tell your family to stay tough at this hard time as you are now painfree from sickness. Save a place for your loved ones when you reunite and in the meantime a candle will be lit for you on your new journey.
