I send my deepest sympathy to the whole family. I was a classmate of Steve’s and always thought he was a good guy. I used to see him in Argyle when I taught kindergarten & preschool there from 1976 to 1983. I know I taught at least one of his children. I was disappointed that he was unable to attend our 50th class reunion & homecoming. I would have liked to have seen him again. May fond memories help to ease your sorrow. With sympathy, Mary McCarville Venden

I will miss Steve. He was a regular at the Cenex in Blanchardville. It was always so nice to see him and his Grandson. Thank you Steve for being such a wonderful person and an awesome grandpa.
