My Condolences to the Family of Mr. Steve. Mr. Steve was the kind and personable man that helped me at Dillard’s. He was by far one of the nicest people in that store. He helped me with my furniture purchases and made everything so easy and enjoyable. We talked about our kids and grandkids and even shared pictures from our phones. He absolutely loved his family!! I’m so glad that I met him. His kindness shall never be forgotten.
Prayers to the family!

I am so sorry to hear that Steve passed away. My wife and I have shopped at Dillard's for around forty years and we got to know Steve through our frequent visits to the Park Plaza Dillard's. Steve helped us with many furniture purchases. Even if we were not shopping for furniture, Steve always had the same friendly greeting. If our son was not with us, Steve always would ask how he was doing. I will certainly miss seeing Steve. My family's thoughts and prayers are with the Sherrill family
Respectfully,
Lindsey and Patti Williams
