I have so many fun and great memories of Steve. He was so passionate about life and all that he was involved in. You knew if Steve was involved you were getting 100% intense effort whether it was in business, on the golf course, in his activities in coaching and politics or with his family. He loved his children so much and enjoyed sharing their successes. He faced the challenges in his life with that same gusto and intensity and made the most he could of overcoming every challenge. Finally, memories of Steve always include Kay. No man could have a better partner in life than Kay Preston. My thoughts and prayers are out to the family and friends.
