As I think back over the years, Steve has spent many hours of his life at work and he would be the first one to tell you that even though it got overwhelming at times he had a great time and made many great friends, whether it was at Wilson Foods, Dixie Foods, Kahn's, or Wornick.  A few of the most recent are pictured above but there are numerous others. 

I recall a time when Wilson employees were on strike and Steve, as a mechanical supervisor, had been working for over 48 hours straight.  Aaron was very young and I had had enough.  I called his boss at the time and rather sternly suggested that 48 hours was long enough and Steve should be allowed to come home.  He was home within the hour!!

I remember when he pulled out of the driveway in Spring of 1993 to leave for his new job in Arkansas.  The kids and I all waved a sad goodbye from the front window of the house.  Yet it was an exciting time for him as he oversaw the construction of the Dixie Foods plant from the ground up. 

From there he worked for Kahn's and the Wornick Company in the Cincinnati area.  He has worked very hard all of his life to provide for Teresa, Whitney, Stephanie, Garrett, Aaron, and myself. He made sure that we had everything we needed and more.  There was a time when he would buy donuts and sell them at work just to make a little extra money.  He has been my handyman for over 30 years and there has been only one thing he has not been able to fix... a TV.  My washer and dryer are over 25 years old and still kickin' thanks to Steve.

We look forward to the future and the paths our lives will take.  We look forward to sharing more time with all of you, our family and friends.  AND we are looking forward to our BIG ADVENTURE.

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
