I knew Steve since I attended Alexandria Assembly of God. Steve served on the board of Kids Konnection for many years. He was a blessing to those who knew him.

I have known him all of my life since I lived 2 doors down from him on N Furman St back in the day. He was a gem and a godly man. He will be missed !

Despite his small statue, Steve was a top high school all-around athlete who inherited his outstanding athleticism from his father Billy, an All-Met High school standout athlete in Washington, D.C.
He will be fondly remembered as a diligent and very personable career U. S. Postal Service employee, a loving husband, caring father and grandfather, and an entertaining oracle of old Alexandria tales, some of which may have actually been true!
Rest in peace Steve.

I knew Steve from our time in the Alexandria Post Office. He is a man of God as evidenced by his compassion for people and the unborn. On behalf of our mutual friend and co-worker, Bob Pierpoint, Bob will greatly miss the phone calls from Steve that he made to Bob as much as 3 times a day. Bob had high regard for Steve and their friendship over the last 75+ years.
