Marilyn, our condolences and thoughts going out to you and Steve's family, in this time of our loss of such a fantastic friend. I am going to miss him calling me by my name in Spanish, Alejandro. His wit and funny stories will forever stay in our hearts. He was a devoted Lion member and could have been a privileged member for serving 16 years with the Lions. We will carry on with his Toys for Tots during Christmas in our community! He leaves behind a very proud, respectable legacy, and we are sure his family are very proud of that! God bless you and his loving family!
