One of my fondest memories from my childhood was when Uncle Steve took me to rent a 4 wheeler while we were in New Smyrna Beach where my grandparents lived. They told me i couldn’t drive it because I was too young so Steve sat behind me and helped me drive it. We cruised up and down the beach all the while Uncle Steve instructing me to “honk the horn at the pretty girls”. He had a great sense of humor and I have never met anyone who doesn’t have a story about how he went out of his way to help people. RIP Uncle Steve.
Steve….as his Kelly always called him Steve-O….will always have a place in my heart. He was a great Uncle to my 3 kids. And…OMG…. the bond between Steve and “MA” will never be broken. God Bless his whole family. God Bless Steve. I have always Loved him and I will never forget him. Heaven got another good person.
