I was saddened to learn that Steve had passed. After he retired, I thought he stayed in charleston and I just thought I'd run into him somewhere..like home depot, lowe's, or walmart. Life just goes on and before you know it, you lose someone like Steve. I am in the bail bonding business here in Charleston, and for those who read this and don't know me, i'll just say that I have and will always think of Steve with the fondest of memories. my brother Gerald and I will say a prayer for Steve and those he left behind.
