Nicole, I am truly sad to hear of Steve's passing. I always looked up to him. His playful spirit and sharp wit will always be remembered. As I get older I sometimes visit regrets... Not taking the time to enjoy the best of friends... I will need to fix this now. Thank you Steve.

Steve lived in a gentle, quiet way. He was naturally kind, compassionate, generous and fun. It's very hard to express our sense of loss with mere words, but knowing Steve was a kind of friendship rarely found. He was always genuine, sometimes fragile and shy about how deeply he felt the world around him. Needless to say he is forever a part of us and we deeply miss his presence. Sending our lovelight and gratitude to Steve's beautiful spirit. From our hearts,
