I was so shocked and at a loss for words at the loss of this man who was my friend. Some people come into your life and are special, Steve was such a man. He was a person that always helped others with a smile and I feel extremely blessed to have known him. Steve, now you can catch that inside straight and take some huge pots from Ray and the guys. My deepest condolences to his family.

I was Steve's supervisor and friend for 15 years, he was one of smartest operators employed at Solutia, and had a work ethic second to none. I always enjoyed working with Steve, smiling and happy most days. He will be sadly missed by all his friends at the plant, he was one of those guys everyone liked. Steve was always willing to go above and beyond . To his entire family who he cherished so much, my most heart felt condolences to all of you .
