Steve has three grandchildren, Gwen, Ewan, and Jill that he loved more than life. Steve worked at Amphenol in Sidney for 45 years .He counted on his "Amphenol family" daily and formed many lifelong friendships. Through these many friendships, Steve took fishing and hunting trips that he greatly enjoyed. He was introduced to panning for gold, and hiking the Catskills. Steve has made several appearances in local theater with the Afton Community Theater and The Tri Town Theater. He participated in the polar bear jump for several years helping to raise funds for those in need. Steve was a great outdoorsman who loved to garden and fish.

In life we loved you dearly and in death we love you still. You hold a special place in our hearts that no one will ever fill.
