Prayers for comfort and peace to all the family. May God wrap you in His Healings Hands ߙϰߙ
I have fond memories of the years that I worked beside and along with RB. You were a true friend who ALWAYS had a smile and a good word to say about everyone (mostly). You are gonna be missed by all who knew you. Prayers go out to your family.
RB Stephey was not only my father-law he was my best friend and confidant. We spent many winters together huddled in snow waiting for that big buck to walk past us. Bud, RB and I paddling down White river because we could. Those are great memories. RB was the kindest man I ever met, he took in his children when they needed help. He and Elizabeth ran two jobs for several years and he never missed a beat. We should all strive to be like RB Stephey a mans, man.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. We will miss Grandpa so very much.
