Steve was my Manager at Carol Wright from 1994 until the end of 1999. He was by far the best boss I ever had. A true Mentor that allowed you to grow and push you out of the comfort zone. Always encouraging and willing to give you what you needed to succeed. I had been thinking of him lately and did a search today. So sorry to hear of his passing.

Plain and simple Steve was a great guy. Always there to help. We helped each other with home projects, but pretty sure he helped me way more than I helped him. Enjoyed being his partner in his work golf league and golfing early on Sunday mornings before my back surgery. Great poker games with his friends from work. A wonderful Hawaii vacation with him and Mary. Many softball games with JP’s and Magnuson’s where he was give the name Tomahawk because of his unusual but productive batting style. Steve you will be missed.

Mary flew to Seattle to drive with me back to Lincoln. We did take our time coming back! It took us 3 or 4 days. According to Steve we were gone 5 or 6 days and then when someone would ask him how long we were gone he would say a week and as time went on it was almost 2 weeks! I think he missed his wife. Through a hard time in my life Mary and I thought a trip to Vegas would be nice. Steve picked us up at the airport with flowers for Mary and me too. I remember him mowing my lawn and he and I chopping down a huge bush. He was so kind and thoughtful and was a wonderful man. A devoted husband and friend. I will miss him dearly. Cathy
