Even though I never met Steve, I give you my condolences and prayers.
Men and women in uniform are never given enough “Thanks” for the job they do/or have done.
May God keep you surrounded in his love and by those who love him.
Love and prayers to all his family, friends and co-workers.
R.I.P. Steve and Thank you for your service.
