Words can't express enough of a man like Steve. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Goldsboro,N.C. , and one thing was he always had a smile and a great attitude. Really we can learn a lot from a man like Steve. Rest in Heaven Bro....

God rest your soul Steven.  I could never have wished for a better heart, kinder, giving man to cherish my daughter and love his children deeply. I had the opportunity to work with Steve through the years, building power plants around the country. He was always the problem solver, loved mentoring anyone that wanted just a little of what he possessed. One huge word comes to mind. Integrity.. With great honor and respect my old friend, son in law and amazing father to Justin and Ashley.

It was really hard to find out this happened to "my buddy Steve",
 he was a great person to work with, I had the great experience to work together, too bad was just one time, I will miss you  buddy.
my deepest condolences to his family.
