    Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Steve was a great man and I now that he will be truly missed by many. I have a lot of fond memories of the oyster roasts in your back yard and the good times we all had. I love you all and will pray that God will give you the strength to get through this difficult time.

    Steve was my uncle. His wife Judy and my mother Anne are devoted sisters. His sister-in-law Lisa is a good friend. Steve took me for my first go cart ride and to my first NASCAR race. I loved both. He also put a bandaid on my head when I got stuck by the yucca plant in his front yard. I know he will be missed.
