Steve began working for Nashville Metro Water Services while in college and remained there until his retirement in 2010 with 40.5 years of service. During his employment, he served as a Union Steward multiple times and played on the department’s baseball team for several years.
He was a former Director on the Greater Nashville Bowling Association Board (GNBA), bowled for over 25 years, umpired softball at many Metro Parks for 20 years and enjoyed playing golf with his friends. He was a United States Army veteran.
Steve was a huge sports fan and a loyal supporter of Notre Dame and a Titans ticket holder since 1999. The sport that brought him the most enjoyment and lasting memories was watching his grandson play baseball, beginning with t-ball to currently his senior year in college. His three granddaughters each had a special place in his heart with laughs, tickles, hugs, pranks and kisses. He was looking forward to spending time with his great grandson and making memories with him too. He loved each of them unconditionally.
