Tracy McNaught wrote a sympathy message

“I worked with Steve for many years. He was a kind, gentle guy who loved hunting and getting out in the woods. He had all kinds of connections that he could call on to find solutions. When I’d run into he and Kathy in town he’d have a sly joke to poke me with. I wish we had some wings together at The Carriage House in Ballantrae before Lockdown.”
