"Ed, Anne, and family. I have no words, this was such a loss. Steve was such a great guy who would go out of his way to help others. I\'m so glad I got to work with him for so many years. He would always help me when I had car issues and he never forgot me when he made something I liked for lunch. He will be greatly missed, may he rest in eternal peace with the Lord. "
