I didn't ever meet Steve, but I felt like I knew him. There wasn't a day that went by that Carla didn't share some funny story or something very sweet about him. They had been together over 30 years, and still he didn't just make Carla happy. He made her proud. He made her laugh. And he made her love him more every day. And that's all I need to know about Steve to know he was a fine and decent man, and one that will be missed forever. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, though it is temporary. My heart and prayers are with you.

Steve was a great guy and I was very fortunate to be able to work with him and his love of all sports be it high school college or pros. He will be greatly missed and all of our talks on past history of high school sports and the love of UK basketball. RIP my friend, and thanks for the memories and talks. God bless you and your family during these times.

Steve was one of the good guys. Super nice and so funny. I was lucky enough to work with him at Cincinnati Bell. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
