I met Steve in 1975 at Northern Michigan Bank. I worked with him until I got married in 1977. Steve was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He treated everyone with respect and would do anything to help anyone. He loved his family so much. When Steve started at Baybank my husband got to know him as well and thought as highly of him as I did. God bless your family during this difficult time. We will miss you Steve….
