Jack & I want to extend our sympathies to the family of Steve. He was always such a “character” and so interesting to talk to. We are privileged to be living on the “Slambo” property at Cook’s Lake. Enjoyed dealing with Steve for this piece of land. (He should have been a lawyer for all the information he knew about properties, etc.) Will miss having him around the Trenary area. Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
