Steve was a master gardener and enjoyed reading and had a talent for oil painting.  He had a love for the outdoors and adventures with his family, that he instilled into his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  He loved hunting and fishing and enjoyed many trips to Lake Powell and the desert.  Some of our most cherished memories are of the time spent at Birdseye with family and lifelong friends.
