Steve & I spent lots of time together as kids in the Falls or Baudette - I saw him a few times as adults. My sympathy to Steve's family and brother Hubert. I wished I could have seen him before he passed away. I'll have you all in my prayers.

My brother Francis Doll was a good friend of Steve and would always inform me of how he was doing or how they got together and got him out on the pontoon boat for a ride one day. He mentioned how he went up to see him last week as he had gotten a call that he didn't have much time left..I know he was glad to see him but also to be a friend and all the crazy time they had together.
My thoughts to the family
