Steve retired from Greif Papermill, where he served as a Lead Man in the shipping department. He was known for his strong work ethic and his dedication to ensuring his family was well cared for. He was a simple man who enjoyed the things he loved most, including NASCAR, especially Dale Earnhardt, San Francisco 49ers football, and listening to his favorite rock music. Steve was a talented handyman, always willing to lend a hand, whether it was fixing things around the house or working on cars for family members. He loved all his children equally and would do anything for any of them.
