    Steve is my best friend for 62 years now and going still. He was such a gentle and helpful & strong and convicted man . Extremely hardworking & capable ,
    Steve loved his two girls & his mother more than
    can be explained . I know Steve was extremely well respected by anyone he encounterd in his life . As for fishing saltwater or freswater , well there were few better with less equipment or knowledge of the area . My heart goes out to his two girls at this tough time.The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~Babylonian Proverb

    I knew Steve for over 15 years and his two daughters were the world to him. I know they grieving now over the loss of their dad and sad to be in a situation where his family is not treating them well. It’s a shame to see how people act when they think their is something to be gained….these are two young girls who have just lost their father. Compassion should be the rule…it would be here in Atlanta.

    Dear Sydney and Riley, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. There are so many people here in Atlanta that worked with your dad and cared about him. We are deeply concerned for your well being and hope that things get better for the two of you. We know your mom will do her best to look out for you. Praying for you both.
