Condolence: To the Grand children and nieces and nephews.
Growing up in Franklin we knew everyone and they knew us. As a young boy scout I patterned some of my traits after some of our scout leaders. I also wanted to be like Steve too, because he was a very technical and analytical man. I never saw him get angry or even say a curse word. It was great flying with him and watching how he worked with airplanes. He was a great inspiration to me. Whether he knew it or not he inspired many of us to fly high and be all that we could be. Thank you Steve for being a great example to the young folks from my generation. Now we are aging but it has been a good flight through life thanks to good examples, like you Steve that set the bar really high. May God bless all of Steve's decendents with his choiest blessing.
