He had a smile and sense of humor that brought happiness to everyone around him. A skilled carpenter, he enjoyed woodworking and had a reputation for being able to fix anything that required a nail. When not at work or helping others, Steve could be found in his man cave watching the Washington Redskins or enjoying the outdoors. Whether fishing or boating on the lake, golfing, or camping with family, Steve knew how to have a great time and share it with others. A proud husband, father, and grandfather, Steve loved his family and friends deeply and uniquely. A man with a giving heart who would do anything for anyone, Steve will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by all that knew him.
