La Veta, CO Wednesday, April 8, 2015 My sympathies to Kathy, Barbie and all of the folks who cared about Steve! Steve and I were the only two members of our class at District 68 School back when we were little kids and I remember him with fondness. I had the pleasure of meeting him again a couple of years ago when he and Kathy made a trip to Colorado and visited my mom. He was so kind to my mom -- corresponding with her regularly over the past decade or so. Steve will be missed!Don Knoell
