Dear Family, I got to know Steve as he was a client of mine. He was a pleasant and thoughtful person that trusted me with some of his retirement planning. I am saddened to here of his passing. God Bless the family in this time.

Sadly cannot make the service but want to extend Condolences to the family and those lucky enough to call Steve a friend. I got to know Steve at work but after I learned we were both Morrissey fans, we had lots more to talk about. I will miss seeing him on the post everyday, his silly kitten stories and our music chats. To know him, the privilege was mine. Tina Trost
