Steve B. and I met in 1987 and quickly became the best of friends. He loved music and Life and lived it to the fullest! He loved to talk of all the great friends he had at Hillcrest and tell stories of his” Glory Days” as a star football athlete. I have many great memories of visiting with Steve and laughing at all the funny stories and things that we often got into through the years. He loved to videotape his life and of others and watch those memories for hours. Thanks for the laughs and all the great and sometimes” crazy” times we shared together. When its all said and done that’s what Life is all about. Its having a friend like Steve in your own life. You truly will be missed my brother!!
Steve was, without a doubt, the best father to his daughter Ashley and my daughter Andrea. Our family will always cherish his memory for giving so much of himself to our girls. Steve spent many hours and miles introducing the girls to social events and functions that helped with their development. We will surely miss this great guy and father.
