To a man who i considered a father figure. I'm sorry we have lost touch since i left continental. Many days i thought of trying to find your number to call or stopping up. I now regret that i never did. May the lord welcome you into his kingdom where i know i will see you again some day. And to Ethel, i am so sorry for your loss. Steve was a great man. I'm sorry i didn't see this until now or i would have came to the service. May god bless.
