Dear Barrys Please know my heart is with all of you. Steve had a magical way of weaving so many people into his life on a daily basis – it is a true reflection of how huge his heart was. As you said in his eulogy, it's so fitting that he passed on Valentine's Day because of that huge heart. We would greet each other each morning when Boston came over to water my lawn as Steve retrieved the Eagle from the mailbox, and my dog barked out a greeting and I waved out the window, and we said a mental goodnight when Steve pulled in my driveway each night as he backed into his when he returned home from his travels. Whether it was the videos of the grandkids he was so proud of, or Brother Tom coming in for the annual 3 week golfing visit, or reminding me to look for him on TV on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock during his trip to the Masters with the guys, or regaling me with his wonderful storytelling tales of his travels, Steve would meet me at the mailboxes or in the driveway every week or so to get caught up on my news and to make sure I knew what was going on with him. Steve's conversations were always funny, kind, interested, mischievous. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. If I stopped into his office, he'd say: “Come look at what I'm working on”, and more often than not, he'd be figuring out a wheelchair ramp for a disable vet or another project to help someone out. Every once in a while I would say: “Steve, you are working too hard, you've got to slow down!” and he'd think about it for a minute and he'd say: “I know I work hard.” And then that twinkle would light up in his eyes and that smile would flash across his face and he'd look at me and he'd say “But I play just as hard as I work!” What a great legacy to have left us all with – work hard, play hard and always help somebody along the way. Eleanor Road won't be the same without him, but he left beauty behind along with his penguins! All my best, Judy Williamson
