Today we pay our respects and say goodbye to our dear friend. Steve served on our department for 30 years. 15 of those he served alongside his son, Nick. He held various positions during his time with us, including Chief, Assistant Chief, and Captain. Steve lived a lifetime of service and showed great dedication to his community.

Rest easy, brother. You will be greatly missed.
