Little Steve was more than a lot of people knew or realized. He was a private person who internalized a lot of life's experiences, either good or bad. Steve was a long standing member with the Racine Vol Fire Dept serving in a number of capacities. In addition to regular hunting trips, he enjoyed scuba diving in open water as well a certified cave diver. I do cherish the times we got to snow ski all over the country. Steve dearly loved those who treated him with respect and love. Together, we drove to school, played sports, served in FD, deer hunted, family camped, scube dived many places, skied numerous hills, and many other thing friends do that are now just memories. Most important, Steve had real Biblical faith, which is not what you do but what you believe at the end which is now not faith but everlasting sight.
