My condolences on Steve's death. Knew him in High School and we enlisted at the same time. Sad to hear, he was a good man with a bright smile.

Bernice and family,
We are so sorry to first hear of Steve being so sick and now of his death. He was a good family man; someone that this world needs more of.
Eternal rest grant upon him, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
And, may his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
