On December 30th it will be a year without Steve. As the years go by Steve will still live in my mind, my memories, and my heart. Though he will never again pull up a chair at the bar, and yell out answers to trivia questions, I will still hear his voice guaranteeing answers that were as often wrong as right. (Hell, probably many more right than wrong, but we tend to remember the wrong ones more the ones that were right.) However, most of us didn't give a damn, 'cause we knew Steve thought he was right, and was trying to help the team, as often he did.
Steve was one of those people, whom I would call "A TRULY GOOD PERSON". No, not a perfect person, but one who was truly good. He cared about other people more than himself.
Steve lived with me for a year and a half. Over that short time he helped me with many things I couldn't do by myself at the house. He was always there to help me, when I needed him. He was a hard worker, and a smart one at that. Steve loved to work, especially when it came to helping other people, whom he knew needed him.
However, after all of the nice things I've said about Steve, if the day should ever come that I go to Heaven, and run into LITL E at some fancy NTN bar up there, and he yells out one more guaranteed WRONG answer, I'm gonna seriously think about asking Saint Peter, if it's too late for me to choose going to Hell... (Just joking...)
Steve Jones, if you are listening, you should know that all of your old friends miss you, and love you for the wonderful person you brought into our lives.
Amen
