Becky & Family,
I was sorry to read of Steve's passing. Steve & I were in the Army Reserve together, worked for Delaware Tire together, and were good friends. We shared an interest is classic cars, as we worked on his 1958 Corvette together. He was a good friend and I will miss him. Peace to your family, as Steve rests now.

Dear Becky, while travelling I learned about Steve's passing. The news shocked me all the more since I didn't know that he was so gravely ill. I am so sorry for you and your boys. Try if you can to find some solace in the knowledge that Steve was a prince among men, respected by all for his goodness, especially by me since we worked toghether for more than a decade. I owe him so much and I will never forget him. Paul Krusic
