I was so sorry to hear about Steve. I have such great memories of him. He was my favorite dance partner in Spencer - in fact we won the annual Roof Garden dance contest. I remember that he had to keep telling me to smile while we were dancing. He was wonderful, thoughtful and very funny and I feel fortunate to have known him. My sincere condolences to all of you.

Steve and I were buddies back in high school but through the years have not had contact. I have a flood of great memories from that time and sorry we lost contact since. My condolences to you, Barbara and family.
Back in 1981 I changed my name to Mark Vale. It was Ron Neumann. Steve's sisters will no doubt remember some of those times with Steve.
Blessings to you and the family.

I was so sorry to read in the Spencer, Iowa newspaper of Steve's passing. I attended high school with Steve, so it has been many years since we had any contact. The instant I saw his photo,however, my memory took me back to all the times I was lucky enough to dance with Steve. He was THE best dancer in our school - the girls all thought so and would hope to get to dance with him. He was a fun loving, gentle young man. My sincere condolences to Steve's family.

Barbara,
I will always have fond memories of you and Steve - and remember his wonderful ducks and the very special drawing of him taken from a photo his dad had shared during WWII.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
