Dear Family, we are sorry to hear this sad news. It's been a lot of years, but we were roommates in the 70's. Steve was a good friend, roommate and biker.

My condolences to Steve's loved ones, I share your loss.
We became friends on our first meeting. We shared a lot of laughs over the years. A straight talker, he would tell one what he thought.
Steve will be missed. He also will be remembered.

Steve is one of my closest friends for 50 yrs. I was going to call him on his birthday. Found out on the day of about his passing. We had a real friendship. He never pulled his punches. He lived to the fullest point possible. We have many great memories. A friend to be counted on in times of trouble. We shared many places sharing homes. He will be missed. I am so glad i got to see him recently. My last memory is his big Cheshire cat smile. Not afraid to say this was written with tears. My sympathies to Elynn, Kevin, Betty and Mary.
