I was Steve´s neighbor for 10+ years. He looked out for us. Took care of our dog as they were best friends. He spent many days teaching my girls how to play basketball. They loved when Bailey joined she loved playing ball too. We had a bond with many wonderful memories

Steve was more than my friend, he was a fellow Ski Bum. We all had a connection that was deeper than friendship. When the others passed, Steve and I would go fishing or golfing or just hang out and remember the others. He was always there to help with anything that needed to be done I had not seen Steve in a few years since moving but I know I will miss him

Steve was a great friend to me and my late husband, David J. Bradshaw. He stood up at our wedding in 1986. When my husband passed away in 2000, Steve often made trips to my home in Stevens Point, Wis, to help out with my 4 children and keep me company, as well as fix odds and ends around our Condo. I could always count on him. I will miss him terribly! I want to extend my sympathy and condolences to all his brothers and sister and to your entire families. May he rest in peace. What a wonderful man!
Sincerely,
Ellen Bradshaw
