As a friend from Steve’s past I can truely say he was always loved and looked up to. The Simmons kids and the Wise kids lived one door down . We all came up together, and had lots of fun doing all the crazy things kids do! Steve was 8 years older than me and I thought he was just too cool. One day he agreed to drive me and Chuckie and Brian and probably a couple of other kids to the skating rink. I remember it so clearly because a song came on the radio and Steve reached over and turned it up real loud and he said this is a new song, and y’all mark my words it’s going to be a big hit. Well he was right, the city of New Orleans became a huge hit. So, he was also a predictor of good music. He was so many things, and all of them were good. God bless Nell And his entire beautiful family that was so lucky to have Steve in their life. Hope to see you on the other side Steve.
