I too met Steve in first grade and I think he loved to tease girls from the moment he started in school. When I read the news of his passing it made me really take a breath. Steve looked great at the last reunion and as always his style, did his share of teasing. I will miss seeing him at the next reunion and remind everyone that as time marches on our classmates will slowly begin to disappear. If you haven't come to the reunions in the past I urge you to do so in the future. The memories will last forever. Rest In Peach Steve, we will all miss you. Sheila
