    Marry and Cathy
    I am so sorry to here of Steve’s passing. I dropped in to see Steve (and his cat) last week to see how things where going and to talk. I knew Steve for many years and up until recently Steve would enjoy making the trip to Hanover for our fishing trip, a couple of nights along the river to tell stories, and to make some of our own.
    Steve was never one to complain, just always happy to be there.
    He will be sadly missed.
