My children, ages 31 and 26, had Steve as a band director. I also worked with Steve with the Auxiliary Tree of Lights at Southampton Memorial hospital. He would direct the children in singing for our activities. He was kind, considerate, and funny at times. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. God Bless.
Steve was a true friend of FHS DECA. He was so proud of the students and their accomplishments. He will be missed.
So sorry for your loss.Steve and I went through Madison together and shared lots of adventures. I knew him as a good friend and a good teacher. I know he will be sorely missed by all family and friends.
My husband, Glenn, and I are sorry for your loss. Steve knew both of our children and use to ask about them all of the time when we saw him at Church. I always enjoyed talking with him. Sincerely, Sarah Rawlings
