Steve won his courageous battle with cancer November 3, 2010 surrounded by his wife of 41 years, children and grandchildren. Steve was a graduate of Tulane University and a businessman most recently owning A Man Around the House with his son Mark. He was a proud retired Air Force Reservist, Commander of Flight Services for the 917th with 37 years of service. A consummate family man who treasured all time and travels with those he loved and joyously told the tales of his adventures. Steve enjoyed traveling, shopping for “good buys”, political debate, jubilant family meals, jokes and laughter but most importantly the blessed time with his grandsons, Carter and Carson.
