Heard about Steve's passing from a family friend in Davenport. Our families were neighbors in Davenport, Iowa - Warren and Shirley Wilson, Sue (Wilson) Canen & Sheri (Wilson) Stevens. Our mother kept in touch with the Motley's until a Christmas card was returned in 2008. Lifelong friends is how I would consider this family to ours. He was always so fun to be around. This picture of him just brought back many childhood memories. Both our parents have passed also so we understand the pain the kids are going through. Candi, just sent you a friend request on Facebook so we can stay in touch. Prayers to you and your family! Sheri Stevens & Sue Canen
