My sincerest condolences to you all. Very sorry for your loss. I worked with Steve for 8 years and I liked him very much. Even though I never really worked with him directly because we were on different shifts. But I did get to know him somewhat. He was a very good man and I respected him. I'm very sorry that he was taken so soon from all of you. We all thought he had more time and that the treatments would keep him around a little longer. So it was a bit of a shock to hear the news. Wish him well on his new journey. Sincerely, J.Ariza
