We just saw this about Steve. I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of you. Steve was always so nice and always smiling.ߙ
Just learned of this sad news. Steve, Yvonne, are great friends. Steve built a massive following as a supremely valued & respected banker because he is both exceptionally competent & altogether trustworthy, a banker’s banker, a fine man who knew his Lord Jesus Christ. We know this because Greg did legal work for Steve’s banks often from 1982 til Steve retired around 2004. For all those reasons Steve lives forever in a better place, yet we miss him & extend all love & sympathy to Yvonne & the family. Love, Ginny & Greg Black
