Steve created his own rules in life living it to his fullest with wild and fun experiences. Steve was quick to smile, tell a joke, dance & had a way of making anyone smile. Steve thoroughly enjoyed singing & dancing and insisted on playing the music so loud on the biggest speakers he could buy so the village could hear. Steve's children remember many Sunday mornings waking up to that loud music playing and his children are avid music lovers because of that. Steve was referred to as the animal whisperer by his siblings while growing up on their farm in Sherman, Pennsylvania. His love for horses was portrayed by Steve’s natural ability to tame any wild horse with his natural born gift. Steve would disappear for hours at a time roaming Sherman’s countryside escaping life on his horses daily. Steve made his living and provided for his family as a Carpenter. Steve had an extreme work ethic and his hands displayed how he worked until they bled, sacrificing unselfishly to keep his family fed. Steve loved his family ferociously. His children and his wife were his whole life. Steve has left a hole in his family’s hearts. As Steve lived his life so wildly, his family believes he is on a wild Stallion running through beautiful fields in heaven for ever more.
