Sharon and family, I knew Steve from the time I was just a kid. I went to church with him when we were young. I guess Steve and his cousin Eddie were about three years older than me but I've known them a long time and loved Steve's family. LInton and Geraldine were a part of a really close church family. Steve was a special man. He always had a special charisma that made him bigger than life to us younger boys. I remember him going away to Vietnam and I know it changed him but I lost contact with him after that. I have good memories of him and just want to say something to his family. God bless his memory and God bless you!
