Julie and family - I worked briefly with Steven at Mercy IT/Crocker. He was THE nicest guy, and always took time to say 'good morning', or share a wealth of knowledge about bicycles! He went through so much but was always upbeat and positive. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope in time that the many happy memories you have will provide you with peace and comfort. My prayers go out to you.

I was saddened to hear of Steve's passing...A friend and I both bought bicycles from Steve many years ago, and I remember him as an avid cyclist and a wonderful guy; I still have the bike I bought from him 17 years ago. My sincere condolences to his family.

I saw today the obituary for Steve. I worked with Steve at Pioneer, although not closely, for about 10 years or so. He was a great guy, and we had a lot of fun either at work or sharing an after work beverage now and then. I have missed seeing him since he was gone from Pioneer. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Steve was a great brother-in=law. I will always cherish the fun things we did and the memories we shared. The "Captains" will miss the travels of the past with Lord and Lady Leatherneck. Rest in peace my friend.
