I´m so sorry to hear of Steve´s passing. Met him when he took over Slidell Seafood store on the corner of Morrow and Fremaux. I lived on other end of Morrow with my 6 kids. He was always so kind, great and interesting conversations and gave the best hugs. He will always be remembered and hold a special place in me and my kids memories. We went there as often as we could since we loved seafood so much. I would run into him at Walmart sometimes. He rode that bike everywhere. Just a really nice guy. Prayers for comfort for the family.
