They say people remember how you make them feel. Well, Steve made everyone feel great! He was always so warm, welcoming, and inviting. He was extremely generous with his knowledge and time. Steve helped me make a dresser using wood from a bed my dad had made. I enjoyed that time making dressers together. He made one for his wife, Kathleen!
