We first met Steve through his brother, John, at one of Warren Co. DAV Chapter 75’s fishing party / picnics for the veterans who live at the PA Soldiers and Sailors Home. What a kind, soft-spoken veteran for a man who was a warrior in battle in the jungles of Vietnam. We thank God for bringing us together and calling you a “friend.”
