My sincerest, deepest condolences, and sympathy to all his family.
There is so much that I could say about Steve. From the first moment I met Steve many years ago he was always so welcoming and kind to me and Peggy. He was a strong solid man with a good heart and a strong sense of deep inner peace that few people posses. I can’t say wether he was a man of the world but he certainly was a worldly man. Rest In Peace
I will miss him and will always remember him.
