Steve and Maryann honeymooned in Marble, CO. They spent much of their early time together camping, hiking, and fishing all over Colorado. Another of the happiest times of his life involved waking up to 3 inches of snow in July at Rocky Mountain National Park with Maryann, on their anniversary. They shared fifty-two years of a strong, happy marriage. 

Steve was a caring individual who was always there for his family and friends. He was a loving son, a supportive big brother, a devoted father, and a caring grandfather. Steve loved his family and friends through life’s joys and life’s tragedies. He struggled through many health issues yet maintained strength and dignity through it all.
