Steve was my swing coach for many years at the PGA Tour Superstore. I was ready to quit the sport when I met Steve. A then through his teaching, mentoring and patience he enabled me to have fun and continually progress with the game of golf. Steve always had a smile and a positive attitude which was contagious. When my wife and son had to have medical operations, Steve was a comforting influence and always available to talk. Seeing Steve instantly would put a smile on my face. He made the world a better place through his caring and love, and I will always remember him for this.
Steve was my golf instructor for many years. When I wanted to give up golf he encouraged me to stick with it, and I will never forget him for that. His patience and knowledge was second to none. I will never forget him and I know he is with God cause he was God sent. RIP Steve, never will I forget you. Also to his family you have my prayers.
