Steve loved to spend quality time with his family, sharing stories about his children and grandchildren. Prayer was very important to him, not one meal would begin without a prayer taking place. Steve and Sharon always spent time together outside, planting flowers, and gardening. In the fall they enjoyed canning all the items they had grown in their garden.
