So sorry my friend, as I just found out. You were the best roommate I ever had when we rented a house together at Tiger Point, and worked at Digital Systems of Florida. Great memories and I'll always remember you.

I'm very sad to learn of Steve's passing. My prayers are with him, his family, and all those whose lives he touched. Steve was a friend and neighbor growing up in Gulfport. I have fond memories of him beginning in the summer of 1961, when we were 6, playing with the crowd of other kids on the block. Through thousands of pick up football, baseball, and basketball games, Bayou View Elementary and Junior High, Trinity Methodist Church MYF, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and Gulfport East HS, Steve was there as a friend. He was a born leader and even though we lost touch I know he accomplished much and made our world a better place. He will be missed by many.
