Our heartfelt condolences. Although we didn't see much of Steve, we considered him our friend and we are so sorry that he is gone. Our fondest memories will be hanging around Farrow's and talking about motorcycles and riding. He was a fighter, but sometimes you can't win the battle.

At times like this, in addition to our sincere condolences, I like to suggest remembering the good times. I'm sure much of him will live on through his kids and grandkids (someday).

Girls,
I am very sorry about the loss of your father. I understand how difficult this is for you both. We are sorry that we are not in town but please know we are thinking of you and your family.
Please try to remember that life is best measured by the quality in which it is lived not by the quantity of days or years. Your father may have left us early but his life was rich in friends and experiences. He truly had a zest for life.
Your father loved you very much and will ALWAYS be with you. He left a lasting imprint of himself in you and nothing can ever take that away.
Please know you have the love and support of all your friends and family now and always.
We love you both very much.
Love,
Dennis & Krista

Steve was so kind and helpful helping me with the move into my new condo. He was very professional and knowledgable, while still being freindly and welcoming. I will never forget his kindness.
