Steve was a wonderful husband, incredible father & devoted brother. He had such a zest for life, approaching each day with enthusiasm, energy, and a positive outlook. He had the best sense of humor, always laughing, joking and in a good mood. He was a simple man who didn't need material things for happiness, just his family & coffee. He also had a soft spot for dogs. He lived an active life and enjoyed taking daily 3 mile walks with his wife Jean and their Aussie-Doodle Poppy. He delighted in meeting his daughters Christina and Alli for salads and good conversation. After retiring from AT&T his hobbies included listening to music, home improvement, keeping up with world news & he absolutely loved going to the beach. He was a strong-willed, kind man who never knew a stranger. Steve will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him.
