“ My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Steve... Being a fellow lifetime musician, I have performed at several events both public and private...
I was performing at a funeral there at Riverwood a few years ago for a dear friend and Steve and I had one of the best conversations about music, performing and life altogether... I really respected Steve a lot in many ways... And I along with everyone else who ever knew him, will cherish the time we had together, however short it was in my case... But short as it was, it was ample enough to time to show me what a giant of a man Steve was on the inside... I will be praying for the family and friends of Steve... And I will miss him... May he rest in blessed peace... Until we meet again on Heaven's bright shore... ”
