Steve was the one who would bring a little laugh or smile to your day , no matter how it was going when he would stop by their would be a story or a joke he would tell that would just make you have a better day .Not many are blessed with this ability but he was we sure are going to miss that big voice and all the junk he would talk while he was their he’s the only man I know that I have never heard him complain about how life or the world was going with him I guess that might have been what he was teaching all of us just roll with life most of it we have no control over anyway .

I’d see Skin on his mower a couple times a week @ Warrior; he always stopped to chat and reminisce about how lousy his fantasy team was and how much he looked forward to “next year”. Skin showed up for our pancake staff appreciation breakfast last month! Little did we know! RIP Big Man!!
