I am the youngest of Steve’s sisters. Military service kept my husband and I far away from our hometowns but Steve and I always remained in contact and enjoyed long phone conservations. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to all who were deeply affected by his passing.

I am Steve’s sister, Reta. I left the Thayer/Alton area many years ago and have lived in other states all this time. Although we were many miles apart all these years, I had Steve in my thoughts frequently and will miss him. My sincere condolences to Janet, his wife, and all those in the Thayer community who knew him and will miss him as well.
