I grew up across the street from the Hicks in Berry Hill and thought so much of their family . I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Steve and I send heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all who knew him. He was a very friendly and funny guy and will be greatly missed . Such a tragic and untimely loss. Lynn Gray Spencer

I was a couple of years younger than Steve and Vince but grew up with them in Berry Hill. My favorite memory of Steve was being in the Cub Scout pack at Julia Andrews and all attending a Saturday afternoon show sponsored by Golden Potato Chips. We had all saved potato chip bags/coupons for weeks to "bid" on the show. Steve did our bidding for whatever item was being auctioned and he bid much more than we had accumulated. Everyone in the Pack seemed to know that except for Steve. Fortunately someone outbid us so it never mattered but it sure was entertaining. Kindest regards and condolences to his family. Chip Smith

We are so saddened by the loss of such a great Dad to our dear friend Holly. Devin remembers playing golf with Steve and him being so much fun and cracking jokes the whole course. I remember him being a cool Dad that visited us in college. We are just so sorry for your loss. Much love and prayers from us. Claire and Devin Maas

I am the little sister of Dudley Smith. My big brother Dudley went to school with Steve and Vince. They were also a permanent fixture at our house. They tortured me, like big brothers, but I loved them too. I will always remember Bill Crooks. I waited on Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, and once in a while, Steve or Vince would come in, and it was always so great to see them. I will always hold these memories close to my heart! Tootie loves you guys!

Although we went to different schools, I first met Steve through a young lady I was dating at the time and who was a childhood friend and classmate of his. That was back in 1969 and we were all seniors in high school. Fast forward a few years and lo-and-behold I discover Steve and I are both employed by the L&N Railroad (now CSX Transportation). Fast forward to present day and I find myself looking back over the last 45+ years or so regarding my friendship with Steve. When I first met him, two obvious attributes about Steve stood out: His quick wit and his hilarious sense of humor! Those two characteristics never wained from him. Over the course of those 45+ years, I came to intimately know and experience another characteristic that he possessed. Steve was fiercely competitive! Over the years he and I competed against each other in tennis, bowling, shooting pool, tiddlywinks, you name it! Although those times were always fun, our most enjoyable times however, came on the golf course where we (and other railroaders and friends) shared stories, a lot of laughs and a few “cold ones”. Steve would always handle the money for all the “friendly wagers” made during the round. He was absolutely hilarious as he would always make, let’s just say, “colorful” commentary regarding ”said wagers” as he would hand them over to whoever won the bet. He was an absolute “hoot” and so fun to be around! Aside from his frivolity, Steve absolutely loved and dearly cared for his family and friends. He truly understood and utilized the joy that God gives us in our lives. I for one will sorely miss him! Rest well my dear friend and I’ll meet you one day at the “gold tees” - - - Jim Chadwell

Steve and I grew up together in Berry Hill. Nobody today can comprehend what life was like in the late 50’s and 60’s in our neighborhood. We ran wild in the streets, played all kinds of sports with our rivals from Vine Hill and Woodbine. We rode our bikes all over town and had great fun together. Steve was always the life of the party and had that great personality. He never met a stranger. We will miss him but his sprit of fun and good times will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to Vince, Emily and Susan along with Kathy and all his kids and grandkids. Listen to the stories they are all mostly true and should never be questioned.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. I worked with Steve in Jacksonville as a dispatcher. He was always friendly with everyone, stranger or friend. I remember one day while working the night shift with him he started singing an old country song "Pop a Top" by Jim Ed Brown. Everyone on that side of the building stopped what they were doing to listen to it. When he finished a lady working in the vicinity signed. That was one of the most memorable things working in that round building. What a unique individual.

Prayers to Steve's family, I'm sorry to hear of Steve's passing. What a character the world has lost. Always funny, always with the jokes. I remember the first day I cubbed with him at Vine Hill, and him telling me we had a dead crew at Brentwood. I was new at the RR and did not know the RR language at that time. He got a big laugh out of that from the shock I had on my face. But that was Steve always joking around. He was always special to my daughter and I. I was lucky to have him as a friend, because he has so many friends. I hope that the fond memories will bring a smile to your face and help you during this difficult time. Go rest high on that mountain. God Bless
