Steve was President of Nashville Spring Service for over fifty years. His ability to change the demeanor of his customers made him a great negotiator. Steve had a witty and humorous personality, always the jokester. His love for cooking was evident in his love for good food. His favorite food group was fritos and corn nuts. Steve played football at Central High School and even received a football scholarship to the University of Wyoming. His love of the game extended throughout his life, with the Titans and he was one of the first PSL holders.
