Sue, Melissa, Amanda and all family members and friends, our hearts and our prayers are with you. As your next-door neighbors in Lisbon for many years, we have fond memories of Steve working on his race car and the pride he felt in racing. When Jackson was a little boy he would ventured over to your driveway every once in a while to just to watch what Steve was working on with his car. One day he came running back into our yard all excited because Steve had given him one his racing photo button pins. That was a major treasure for Jackson. I think he still has it. May your hearts and minds be filled with many good memories you shared together. Praying for comfort, peace and strength for each of you. Love, Kris and Chuck Long
So sorry to you and your family
Gerrine and I offer our condolences to your family Susan. I wish I would have gotten a chance to meet him, know him, and swap Navy stories. I joined a few months earlier. Anchors aweigh Steve, fair weather, and following seas.
Sending so much love and support to all of you!! Race on, Steve!!💚
