So many good memories from high school, and from when Cliff worked for Steve, spanning many years. Steve was always a hard-working, honest, loyal friend, always with a smile on his face and a heart of gold. Heaven grows sweeter every day, and I look forward to the reunion we will have one day..with our Lord and all our loved ones. I can only imagine.....Deepest sympathy and prayers for family and friends.
