Steve was proud to be an American and Served his Country in the US Army with the 521st Military Police Company from 1956 to 1958. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother, who always put his family first. He retired as a Tool & Die Maker. He touched many people with his kind manner and always had a joke to tell. His sense of humor and ability to make everyone laugh will surely be missed.
