So sorry for your loss my prayers go out to the whole family. I know he is up there giving Rusty heck. : )
Steve was my cousin. We used to hang out with each other a lot back in the 80’s. There were a few of us teenagers that would stay in the “little house” for days at a time. Those were good memories. I hated to hear he passed away. My prayers go out to the rest of the family. God bless you.
