Robert and I are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our friend and co worker. I will always remember Steve coming to Kroger on Salem and buying more lottery tickets. He evidently made his rounds with those. He was a kind soul of a man. Always had something nice to say to me at the gas station.
Shannon I’m so sorry for your loss . Our prayers and comfort and peace be with you always. He is in the arms of his maker and for that we will smile again.
