Steve was a loving husband, devoted father, dedicated friend and avid fisherman. Steve's life was a testament to the values of family, friendship and working hard to provide for his family. Steve worked for Kawneer, an Alcoa Company, for over 35 years. When he wasn't working, he was fishing on Beaver Lake, often with his wife Debbie. Steve shared his love and knowledge of fishing with anyone who would listen, but was also very protective with whom he shared tips about his favorite lures and secret fishing coves. He was an exceptional Cribbage player and had an endless list of corny jokes that he could rattle off at any moment.
