So sorry for your loss, I remember Steve growing up. He was my nephew although we were only a few years apart. I remember him and his brother and sister as I lived with them for a while.
Steve was a long time friend of my husband Les, they were classmates and roommates after high school. He was a groomsman in our wedding. He was always such a nice guy. He was one of a kind. He will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers to his daughters and all of his family.
My sympathy is with the family at this very sad time. Take care.
