I am sorry to hear about the passing of Steve, he was  in several classes with me, including gym and some shop classes.  I remember him as being quiet but a fun guy!

Stephen Smith was my neighbor. He was always kind, soft spoken, and a staunch member of the LDS Church.

I'm grateful to have known this good man. Sorry to hear of his passing. Our world was made better with him in it.
