We will always be grateful for our friend Steve for always having such pure joy when being with us and taking us fishing and being such a great guy. We known Denise and Steve since our years way back in Madison when we worked at the lab. Always a huge grin and fun laugh that always got bigger when talking fishing and lures. Grateful that we were able to spend such good fishing trips with him and we'll always think of him when we're out on the lake wherever that will be. Always in our hearts. We'll miss you big guy!
