To the the Wimbish family....It is hard for me to say goodbye to Steve. I will miss him so much. It has meant so much to our family -for so many years to have him a part of our lives. I will be able to spend much time remembering shared experiences of our lifetimes. He is one of those people like my family whom I will look for first when we meet on the other side! Love you so much, Steve!

Sally and Suzanne, Tommy and I were so saddened to learn of Steve's death. As you know, he and Tommy were fast friends through high school and I so enjoyed seeing him at our Tybee Island Thanksgiving several years ago. Our most recent fond memory was seeing him at the East Rome/West Rome 5oth High School reunion. What a character! He will be missed and Tommy and I send our love to you both.
