28 Nov 2021Steve was an inspiration as a patriot and as such a blessing to have known as a friend. I’m forever grateful for his willingness help to everyone he encountered, to help them understand the value of American freedoms and the responsibility we all have, together to defend them.

3 Dec 2021Steve and I have been friends since Elementary School. From his oldest sister Debbie taking us to the first Star Wars movie in Omaha Nebraska to the Rolling Stones concert in Ames Iowa 1989. Many fun times for sure. I will miss you my friend. God Speed my brother until we meet again.
