Steve was more than someone I knew, he was a friend. I remember going to Terry Heights Elementary, and then Stone with Him. It was at Stone that I got to know him and his sense of humor best. I have fond memories of sitting with Steve and Phillip LeMay in  Mr. Hatchett's ceramics class in the basement, talking cars, bikes, and Mr. Hatchett's warning to "Not waste the clear glaze".  Over the years, I have often thought of Steve. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. 

I sat right behind Steve in the 5th grade. Pasty Ford sat in front of him and Hollis Lowery still further up the row. Steve loved to read Mad Magazines, especially the Spy vs Spy cartoons.  He was lots of fun to be around and I really miss him. He was the first friend that I ever lost when he was only 17 years old.
