Steve lived right behind me and we grew up together going to Simpson Elementary and then West High. He was one of my best friends and was forever trying to teach me how to do a jump shot in basketball. He got interested in ham radios in high school and I guess that interest stuck with him the rest of his life. Great friend who will be missed.
