I have wonderful memories of Steve from my college years in Iowa City (1973-1976) - especially our trips in search of 45s for his record collection. Great discussions about life and love. Will miss you Steve. Rob

I worked with Steve for two years at the old Hy-Vee on Hollywood. Steve ran a very clean and well rotated dairy. He took pride in his work, and did an excellent job in training part timers on working in the dairy. He helped Hy-Ver make a lot of money! It was a pleasure to work with him.
