    Stevie and Keitha:
    I just got the news about your Dad.
    I really feel terrible about his passing.
    Wish I could be there for both of you, but I am not in Michigan at this time.
    Will try to find a way to contact you after I am back home. Email me if you can...
    Love you both

    So sorry to read that Steve has passed away. We have known him for years,as a Belding resident,schoolmate and co-worker at Electrolux. It was always nice to talk to him. He was a very good person. Last I talked to him was at Meijer and like many wasn't having any luck finding another job. He was still upbeat and thinking positive about moving on after Electrolux. He was always so friendly. Once again so sorry for your loss.

    We all know that even the best people in the world that we love will always be in our "HEARTS" And always remember your loved one will always be up above looking down at his loved ones and watching them....

    As one of the "Good Guys" I was saddened by the news of Steve's passing as I really enjoyed my time spent with him during coffee breaks at Electrolux. He had a great personality and he will be missed by both Family and friends. Honestly, he had a positive influence on anyone who was lucky enough to know him.
