Steve was a mentor to me and more than that, a friend. I will always think of him everytime I see one of those ugly little BMW M coupes that I talked him into buying instead of the Firebird he was considering. I'm sorry we never got to take that canoe trip with the kids we were planning on. You will be missed greatly.

Kaplan Family, Steve was my friend and shall always be remembered as a Gentleman, a Man who never said anything but good of anyone, a Man who I loved to talk with and heaven knows loved to kid with pertaining to my putting some bumper sticker on his vehicle. May God's comforting hand be upon your shoulders. Charlie Hess
