I've played several rounds with Steve at Riverside and enjoyed everyone. He was a competitive, competent golfer and a you didn't have to guess about what he thought. I've missed his presence and will continue to miss him at Riverside.

Steve was a great man. In our many golf outings I really got to know Steve and learn his integrity as a good person, honest, fair and always fun. He would share his knowledge in all of lifes bogeys and birdies. Steve was a very giving man helping my sons archery team with Tennessee Heat shirts working hard and with no concern for his time to help us out in a pinch. I am blessed to have met and been able to spend time with Steve, and I know he will be a great partner in the $3 game past the pearly gates. I miss you brother.
