I got to know Steve over the last 4 years of his life. I have never met anyone with such a gental soul. I could always imagine Steve standing quit and still in a park somewhere and the birds would probibly come and just land and rest on his shoulders.He brought joy , laughter and sense of peace and taught me that life does not have to be lived in such a hurry.
