Steve was an avid motorcyclist and loved to take road trips with his cousins and friends. He also loved to fish along the coast. Though he mostly caught bait stealers, he had a great time being outdoors with his family. Steve was a man of few words, but he loved God, his Country, and especially his Family. He would get a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face as he reminisced about his wife, parents, siblings, children, and all of those grandchildren. All of them knew how much he loved them. He was a very good man who was honest and strong. The world could use more men of his exemplary character and dedication to doing what’s right
