Uncle Steve. My friend. We will miss you. Although I am sad; I am happy you are not in pain anymore and have moved on to the great mystery. The great unknown. Some people believe death leads to a new adventure. A different existence. I hope you excel in this new place just as you did here. Im glad I had the chance to know you and learn from you. Please stop by and visit occasionally. When the lights flicker or things move without reason I will think of you and you will be remembered. Death is not the end. It is only the beginning.
