One of Steve's greatest attributes was that he was a hard worker. His work ethic was - when asked to do a job, he would do it right the first time, no matter how long it takes. He never settled for anything less from his children - in school or at home. During hard times, even after he was retired, Steve did whatever he could to support his family, and never complained about it either.
Growing up, his children got to see how a real man treats a lady. Steve adored his wife and told her every day how much he loved her. He wasn't afraid to hold her hand or show affection toward her in front of his children. Steve was faithful, God-loving, and showed his daughter that she shouldn't settle for anything less in a husband. Steve also set an example to his children in how he cared for his parents. They grew up watching how he treated them. Even in their elderly years, when it became harder to care for them, he still treated them with the respect they deserved, because they were his parents. His children, in turn, gave him that same respect. Steve was always a family man. He would do anything for the family and specially his little girl.
Steve is now in a better place, and with his favorite grandma who would do anything for him. He’s up there having a good old fashion family reunion, showing his son, Chad all of his family and having the best healthy life, living pain free. Steve is probably racing a street car and doing donut holes, or even better yet, he is probably riding a motorcycle through heaven throwing stink bombs.
Steve was a true example to his family and friends. He showed them all unconditional love, he taught his children about life and about being a good person. Although Steve is gone physically from this world, his memory will live on forever.
