My condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren. I met Steve, our Freshman year at UTHS. He was a very good friend to Joyce and the rest of the girls. He was a good example to everyone he came in contact with! He was fun, enjoyed all of our (sports) games and dances afterwards. We were the last year, to graduate from the school on the hill "1960"!! We all loved that school. Bless you Steve, Linda Livesay
