Dear Family of Whitey:
We are so sorry for your loss, which we know runs deep in your hearts. We always enjoyed chatting with Whitey when our families were brought together. He always made a point to take the time to say Hi and tell a funny story to make us laugh. We will greatly miss those stories and his big smile. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Tod, Shawna, Justin & Ryan Steele

Shirley, You and Whitey have been staples in Kevin, Roxann, David and My lives. There are no words to express my gratitude for the role that the two of you played in our lives, the sympathy that we have at this moment, or the love that we will always carry in our hearts for you both. I love you very much and I pray that God helps ease the pain in your broken heart. Whitey was the greatest man I have ever known and the memory of him will forever live deep within my soul.
