Message: Steve was the best Lead guitar player I ever played with in a band. We grew as good friends over the years in several groups from Shadow Creek Band to his last Band "Trademarks" and I will miss him deeply, I know the Lord loves music and his style will be missed greatly but my friend until we meet again I will have my drums always ready to play with you. I'm grateful to have known this wonderful man, until we meet again I Love you "Doc". P.S. Bev Thank you for having us practice in the garage for our gig's and the wonderful food you fed us with, may God Bless you and the Family at this time of your loss with sincere condolences
