Steve was one of those guys that would give his right arm if you needed it. I remember an instance during 2-a-days for football that him and I would match up. He would go through me like a runaway train. But turn right back, and help you right back on your feet. He was a great man and though I now live in Florida, I wish that I was still raising heck like we used to in the good ole days. Steve, wherever you may be now, we all will miss you. My familys’ heart, prayers and love goes out to his family. A great loss, but will never forget the awesome time that we had.

I worked with Steve for a short time at Gertsen. We started the same time but after 6 months I moved back to Lancaster, Pa. Steve was a great guy and we kept in touch after I moved. We used to stop together every night in Michigan City on our way back from the rail yard and shared a great many laughs together. I was trying to get him into Fedex. Then his phone stopped receiving calls. I just found this on the internet. I wept when I read this and wish all of his family my condolences. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He will be greatly missed. Goodbye Steve…..It was great knowing you.

Steve was one of those guys that would give his right arm if you needed it. I remember an instance during 2-a-days for football that him and I would match up. He would go through me like a runaway train. But turn right back, and help you right back on your feet. He was a great man and though I now live in Florida, I wish that I was still raising heck like we used to in the good ole days. Steve, wherever you may be now, we all will miss you. My familys’ heart, prayers and love goes out to his family. A great loss, but will never forget the awesome time that we had.

I worked with Steve for a short time at Gertsen. We started the same time but after 6 months I moved back to Lancaster, Pa. Steve was a great guy and we kept in touch after I moved. We used to stop together every night in Michigan City on our way back from the rail yard and shared a great many laughs together. I was trying to get him into Fedex. Then his phone stopped receiving calls. I just found this on the internet. I wept when I read this and wish all of his family my condolences. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. He will be greatly missed. Goodbye Steve…..It was great knowing you.
