Steve was one of the nicest people I knew, he will be missed. I first met Steve when he picked up my son Lance for his first day of school, I knew my children were in safe hands and would be cared for. We was a very positive influence.

So sorry to hear about the loss of a good friend. I remember when Jim and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary and Steve stopped over with a card and bottle of wine. I was touched that a single guy would remember a wedding anniversary. Jim has many fond and crazy memories of hanging out with Steve. Steve had a big heart and always a smile on his face.

I was sad to hear of Steve's passing. I'll remember all the guitar conversations we had and his wonderful sense of humor. On more than one occasion he let me borrow one of his prize guitars and an amp when I had to fly back to MN to play. RIP Steve, I'll miss you.

Steve, my dear sweet friend, thank you for letting me share your life and love ♥ you. I will never forget all the great times we had. Especially the time you, Gary and I drove in the ditch on Hwy 1 to avoid a MOOSE while going to see Jim in Silver Bay. So many memorable good times ~ YOU will always be a special friend that I hold close in my heart ♥. RIP Hawk. You are remembered and cherished by so many.
