I know this is a tardy condolence, I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. It really seems like yesterday when Steve, Collette, me and my sister would be zooming around Roller City Skating ring to the best of the 70's. Love and Comfort to you Lori, your Sons and all of your combined family. Mike Montgomery
