"Sorry to hear of the death of another classmate. Steve was always such a nice person... Ran into him at our last couple of class reunions but that was about it.. Will remember him as a kind and gentle person... Fifty-nine is way too young to be leaving this earth...May you rest in peace.... Dick Fox Cedar Rapids, Iowa"
