He had lived in New Jersey, Michigan and California prior to returning to Ohio. In McConnelsville he diligently worked as a member of the Morgan County Board of Education for whom he was instrumental in securing funding for new school buildings. He served as a city council member and a devoted community and church volunteer. An avid sports fan throughout his life, Steve was most devoted to “that team up North”.
