  1. We were so sad to hear that Steve passed. We will always remember Steve for his kind smile and his fun nature at the golf tournaments, the bowling alley and all the family events he and Bonnie were a part of. I know I speak for all of us at the Micheil Family when I say that Steve will be missed so very much. Our deepest condolences to Bonnie, Greg and the entire Wallace Family. We will see you Saturday.
    With Love,
    Wendy & Berah Taylor

  2. Jan and I were shocked and saddened at Steve’s passing. We have known Steve for 25 years and cherished his friendship. We have enjoyed many golf outings, dinners, theater, bowling, cards and a wonderful trip to Ireland and Scotland where Steve worked on his genealogy. A gentle kind hearted man whom we will dearly miss. We wish Bonnie and the Wallace family our deepest sympathies.
    Tom and Jan Micheil
