Steve, you were a treasure. From your terrific laugh to your distaste for the abundance of houseplants you would have to water when Pam was away, you were a cherished member of our family, and I will miss you terribly. Thank you for all the love and laughter over the years, along with your wisdom and support.
Rest in peace dear brother.
