I knew Steve in Junior high school and at Richmond Union High School in Richmond, California. We both graduated in 1965. He was a lot of fun to be around and just a great person. My prayers are with his family in their loss.

I was an old high school classmate of Steve's. I was very much looking forward to seeing Steve this summer at our reunion. We had lots of catching up, laughing and exchanging of stories to do. Now they will have to wait even longer.



My condolences to his son, family and friends.



Steve will continue to be remembered fondly by all of his friends, past and present as he rests now in God's hands.

Steve was a kind and intelligent friend for over 20 years. I remember the old days listening to music at Greenstreets. I visited him in California and he and Rowland visited me & Eric in Aspen, Colorado. We camped and enjoyed fishing and the beautiful mountains. I am sorry I will not be at the Memorial, but I send my thoughts and prayers for Steve's last journey. Love, Mary Evans Dixon
