My heart is sad. Steve was a wonderful Man. I thought about Steve quite often when he took leave. Wondering how he was Doing. This world was a better place with him in it that's for sure. he always had time to chat up with great conversation early Tuesday and Thursday Mornings. My deepest condolences to his wife and family. Find comfort in knowing Steve was very well liked BY SO many. And I am certain he has his place in Heaven.

I had the pleasure to work with Steve here at FH Paschen when Samantha helped bring him on. He was always smiling and always had a great story to tell. I am grateful I got the chance to know him and I am sending my love, thoughts and prayers to Samantha, his wife and whole family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Belcastro and extended families during this time. Steve and I went through our apprenticeship together. He was alway a great guy to work with and to be around. May you cherish the memories that you have shared with Steve.
