    Very sorry to hear of your loss. I did much business with Steve over the last 30 years and always found him to be fair and easy to deal with. I respected him as an industry leader but more importantly considered him a friend. I admired his faith in Jesus Christ and was pleased to read about his work in the church in the obituary. He was great man and will be missed.
