He Has done so well for himself. He has such character and kindness in him. I told my son Mike how Steve called me. He said, "please send any emails you receive from their family to me." He said, "you watched Steve play didn't you?" My answer was of course. He said, we sure watched him play. He was such an exceptional player.
