Steve was always known as a workaholic and enjoyed every minute of working. He had a great talent with building; he made furniture out of redwood, made many unique pieces with grapevine, and also spent time building ships and putting them in glass bottles.

Steve will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
