Dear Sadler Family,
I got to know Steve while he was working some extra hours as a custodian at Anderson Elementary School. From the moment I first met him I thought, "This is one heck of a good guy!" I knew he was a true "people person." Steve always had a smile on his face, and was an extremely hard worker. He often shared stories of his kids, and how proud he was of them. I feel blessed to have known him. Steve will be be missed by many.

Dear sadler Family-
I'm so sad to hear this news. Steve was a fine man, and a tremendous co-worker. My mind is racing right now with many, many, memories from our Gustafson days and I know since that time as Steve moved on in his career, he positively touched many other lives- some of whom I come in contact with from time to time.
May God bless and watch over you all.
Sincerely and with deepest symathy,
Brian Wood
