First of all Steve was a real good friend, a good worker that you could always count on if you need help. If he would need my help he called me and say hey Joe Joe I need your bucket truck. I would drop what I was doing and go help him. That’s What real good friends , real good co-worker do for each other. Steve, I’ll miss your friendship, but you’re in a better place and with your mom, Dad and your sister. It doesn’t get any better than that.
