I will always remember Steve as my handsome, funny brother-in-law whose life was radically changed by the Vietnam War.
He, along with countless others, were never the same.
He can, finally, Rest In Peace.

Steve loved homemade chocolate chip cookies, when he came over he always left with a can of cookies. At least he can have them again.
Give Mom and Dad a big hug from me.

Sorry to hear about Steve. I went to Ryan high school with him and also served in the army in Vietnam in '69-'70. Our family's prayers are with you.

Steve was a wonderful uncle and was like a father to me. I will miss talking to him and having him come visit in the summer. However, my six year old put it all in perspective...Uncle Steve can now hug his brother in heaven.
