I know Steve had to be a wonderful man and a wonderful father. Who else could have raised such great daughters and be so loved by a son-in-law.

A wonderful man who's expressions of love came through his genuine kindness and thoughtfulness of others. It is a sincere privilege to have known him. I will miss him.
