I remember Steve as a young girl in the Alma 2nd ward. He was one of my dad’s scouts. Laurel Leavitt will be having a joyous reunion with him in the spirit world. I cried when I read his obituary. He was valiant and faithful to the end. What a legacy he leaves to his family. Linda Leavitt Hartmann

I worked with Steve related to his Dairy Queen business. Steve was an excellent restauranteur and was admired and respected by everyone within the DQ corporate organization. He made many important contributions to DQ thru the years, and his opinion was frequently sought out. Steve was a hard working, trustworthy, intelligent man and I am proud to say he was my friend. My condolences to his family.
