Steve was loving, kind, and generous with his support to all in need. We met about 30 years ago when he came to Hanford. Went to a few races in Portland, and had a great time. We will miss him. Liz Tackett (Richland, WA)

Steve is known as "The Boomer" because he BOOMED around the country as an Electrical Design Engineer.
I met Boom in the Tri-Cities, Wa. when he joined The Desert Van Club. (He was working at Hanford.)
He has been a good friend for 33 years. We enjoyed the hobby of drums and drumming together.
He served in the Naval Reserve during the Viet Nam war.
This man has ALWAYS given, (silently), of himself......this will always be his legacy.
With his passing we have lost his courage and his leadership. This can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.
