“Lorel, Molly, and Lizzie; I am so terribly sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I have such fond memories of The Big Squeeze, Steve’s stories as a chimney sweep , summer evenings spent in your lovely yards in Rossville and Lawrence so many years ago ... I am eternally grateful for Steve and Lorel taking in my son and me when we needed a safe place to be. I’m so thankful I was able to visit with Steve at the RHS Class of 1977’s 40th class reunion. Steve will be missed by many. Love to all.”
