Patty and family, Sue and I are very sad for your loss of Steve. We had so much fun with both you when you were painting our house. Steve and I had a great time reminiscing about the good old days and it was always great bumping into him no matter where it was. The picture posted of Steve says it all! Fly high my friend!
