What a beautiful person your Dad/Grandfather has been in your lives. He was always smiling, laughing and spreading that joy to others. He is now looking at you from above, I’m sure with a bigger smile of how proud he is of his family. You have such beautiful pictures to cherish. Sending prayers at this time for feeling his loss, but may you always now feel him by your side. With all our love - The McCrain Family

This man leaves a legacy of the joy of life and embracing people… all people. His goodness and compassion were felt by those he encountered and the loss of his absence will be felt by everyone. It is my hope that the many wonderful memories he made with his beautiful family and endeared friends will help to comfort in this most difficult time.

Uncle Steve was always smiling, with that wonderful handlebar mustache. He raised a beautiful family of girls. I know he is up there in Heaven with Aunt Trudy, catching up with Winnie and Al! All my love and prayers, Loretta
