View all 12 ReflectionsI have never forgotten Steve, we served in the Army together, but more than that we were good friends while we were in Germany. Steve was a great guy, and basically a nice human being, he had a terrific personality, but was also very mild mannered, and even keeled. I liked him a great deal. I have known about his passing, and the honors relating to him, for years. I’m also aware of naming of the section of highway. My heart goes out to his family. Sorry for waiting so long for this tribute to him.
