Steve's favorite time of year was deer season. He loved hunting and spending as much time as he could out to his cabin. He loved watching the deer and the birds and feeding the bunnies in his back yard. He also enjoyed snowmobiling and riding his Harley Davidson. He collected classic cars and could always be found in his garage tinkering around with one of his old cars. He loved sitting in the sun, swimming in his pool and watching Nascar.
