I had the pleasure of working with Steve for many years at AT&T. He was the nicest guy. Always upbeat, positive, and smiling. He will be sorely missed by many. RIP Steve. Another one gone too soon.

Although we had fallen out of touch, I often thought of you with fond memories. You helped bring light and joy to those around you. I will always miss the late nights laughing and playing cards at the lake, enjoying a swim during hot (and cold) summer days, and the amazing friendship you offered to those close to you.

Oh Steve, I will miss your smile and your laugh. I've missed our in-depth analysis of unusual situations. I loved looking at your photos. I always looked forward to updates on your Goddaughter, the love in your voice and on your face when you spoke about her was priceless. I pray that she always remembers how important she was to you. All little girls should have a man like you in their life. I miss you my friend.
