We will miss you dear brother! I have such great memories of you, going back decades. Will never forget that you taught me to ride a two-wheeler bike when I was 6. Will never forget talking about books with you. Will never forget your story-telling and making me laugh. So much more! I love you Steve. Cindy, Nate, Monica, Kenny and Zach… he was the best, wasn’t he!! Love you all, Aunt Jeanne
