Like Barb, I first met Steve at Irving School during our Junior high days. Steve had moved to Bloomington from Pekin after sometime after his mother had passed away. Many of us were not aware of his prior days in Pekin or the passing of his mother until this past year on Face Book he posted a few memories of his childhood.
It was at our fifty year class reunion last October that we both were able to attend. I was on pain medication with back and leg problems that left me very stationery at the table, in fact my wife had to bring my meal to me from the buffet.
It was Steve who wasn't sure he would make it to the reunion and was much greater physical trials with Chemo and Radiation treatments and then a leg problem while in a wheel chair rolled over to talk to me and his visit lifted my spirits as he encouraged me because of our recent communications on life's issues. I will certainly miss him, but hope to see him again.
Till we meet again Steve!
