I'm sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He and Shirley were always good about connecting with family and attending family events. I enjoyed talking "shop" with him about photography and his work. Our condolences to the family. Richard Allen

Steve was a friend at Lourdes and even then he loved working in the school's darkroom. I have such fond memories of good times with both of you. My sympathy to you Shirley.

Steve was a wonderful friend as we grew up. We built and flew model planes, went fishing, walked back and forth the high school together... had a great time with his old Desoto which had ship on the hood and therefore gave him the college nickname of Captain!
May he rest in peace.
