I first met Steven at the 2013 Ukrainian American Veterans (UAV) annual convention. He had already served 14 years as the UAV National Quartermaster, and it was my first year serving as the National Webmaster. I worked with Steven a lot over the next 12 years as we set up an eCommerce site for the Quartermaster store. Seven was skeptical, but he went along with it anyway - he always a great attitude about everything. It saddens me to think that he's gone now. Vichnaya Pamyat!
