We were so sorry when our daughter, Mary, told us she had heard Steve had passed away. He was always delightful to visit. I will never forget when I mentioned might that I might try deer hunting and he said come over here and climb this tree in our front yard. I had never tried a tree climbing deer stand. After he showed me how to use it, that was all I used on the hunts I went on. We have always enjoyed your Christmas cards that let us keep up with you and your family.
