Steve was a great friend to Rich and me. We had lots of fun together when we would make it to Kansas City. He was a really great guy and I enjoyed him and Rich talking about old friends and good times. He was a great musician too and his guitar collection made us drool.🤤 I will miss him and I know Rich already does. Thanks for the memories Steve. Play on.

I am so sad to hear of Steve’s passing. I know it is such a great loss for your family. my sisters were much closer to him than I was, but they always had great stories to tell about him. He really brought a lot of joy to a lot of people with his music. And he was a very kind and gracious guy. I will be praying for your family as you make an adjustment to life without him close by. love you all, Becky
