Uncle Steve was the uncle I will never forget. If you were having a bad day, he always made you feel better. Humor was his gift. Hard working, not much play time, enjoyed life to the fullest. All I want to say is have a safe trip. We will See you later. Love you uncle Steve.

My Cousin Steve had a beautiful smile..He was a Viet Nam Vet. I am not sure I ever thanked him for his service, but I did love him for his sacrifice for me and our country. Words cannot express the loss of this strong man who fought long and hard for life.

My Uncle Steve served in the Vietnam war when going to war wasn't appreciated! Thank you for your service! I will miss your humor, jokes, and silly actions. Posting a photo that captures the typical Steve. RIP
