I did not personally know Steve however, my husband was at his home a few days before Steve passed making some repairs and when my husband arrived home he said that Steve had given him a brand new Tshirt that he had got for my husband for doing the work in his apt. The world needs more kind souls like this. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
