I am unable to imagine a Stevens Point Reunion without Steve being there. He always laughed at our shared stories and knew how to enjoy all his friends.
Canoeing the Kickapoo with Hollie and Steve and their friends were some of our best camping trips. Rich and I were very sad to here Steve left us so soon. He stood up in our wedding in 1969.
