I am so sorry to hear about Steve. I saw him at our 40th class reunion. I will remember how he became lieutenant in fire dept and worked to save lives. What a brave and courageous man looking out for the welfare of others. It is sad to lose a classmate. My heart and prayers go up for his wife, son, brother and all his extended family and friends who will miss him.
Sincerely,
Sue Ellis Rice

Alfes was a great guy! Always competing with me @ Dodgeball at Pcell's, we were the last ones to shoot it out with Mr. Minor. Indeed he was a fantastic person. I spoke to him about the 40th Reunion...

I knew Steve since Kindergarten. He always had a smile on his face. As far as I can remember he came to all of our reunions. I bumped into Steve and his son years ago at Krogers. His son was wearing Steve's letter jacket. How cool is that! Steve, you'll be missed.
