(918)▪︎[ Thank You, Steve … 2023 ]

[ Dear Teri ]
[ I Am So Sorry For Your Loss, Today ]
[ I Wish That I Could Be, Some Kind Of Help ]
[ For You, In Any Way ]

[ I Am Glad That I Had The Conversations With Steve, That I Did ]
[ I Remember Going Into His Office With Him ]
[ When He Was Explaining Everything In There ]
[ It Made Me Feel Like A Kid ]

[ Everything In There, Had A Reason To Be In There ]
[ You Could See That They Were Handled With Care ]

[ Steve’s Wealth Of Knowledge, Cannot Be Explained By Just Using Words ]
[ The Ways That He Explained Each Item ]
[ He Would Talk So Fast I Could Not Keep Up With Every Adjective, Noun Or Adverb ]

[ But He Was Patient With Me, If I Asked Him The Same Question Again ]
[ He Would Ask Me Where He Lost Me ]
[ Then That Would Be Where He Would Begin ]

[ Being The Giant Man, That He Was ]
[ I Never Heard Him Say Something ]
[ Just Because ]

[ His Words Always Had A Reason To Be Heard ]
[ Sometimes He Would Be Quiet ]
[ & Just Observe ]

[ His Mind ]
[ Was Always The Busy Kind ]
[ It Could Take Him Awhile,To Unwind

[ Steve Was A Bit Of A Perfectionist ]
[ Everything That He Said Was Straight Forward ]
[ He Never Beat Around The Bush, Or Ended His Conversations With A Twist

[ He Always Gave People His Best ]
[ Knowing That When The Problem Had Been Resolved ]
[ That Is When He Could Rest ]

[ When Steve Would Come Into A Room, He Always Had An Air Of Authority To Him ]
[ He Never Did It For Show ]
[ Chances Of Him Asking Or Demanding To Get Respect, Were Razor Slim ]

[ Steve Was Probably Type (A) Personality Decades Ago ]
[ He Then Slid Into The Role Of The ALPHA Dog Position ]
[ In A Room Full Of Other Alpha Dogs Wondering Who THE TOP Alpha Dog Was? ]
[ When Steve Comes In, Everyone Will Know ]

[ Steve Will Be Missed ]
[ By Too Many To List ]
[ Would Steve Have Wanted Me To Write Any Of This? ]

[ Probably Not ]
[ He Never Tried To Seek Out The Bright Dot ]
