Steve grew up in Hornell and was a graduate of Hornell High School (class of 1971).\u00a0 Following graduation, he learned to operate heavy duty construction equipment.<\/p>\n

For over 36 years, Steve fulfilled his dream as a firefighter for the Hornell City Fire Department.\u00a0 In 1992, he was promoted to the rank of Captain, a position that he held until 2011 when he retired due to ill health.\u00a0 For many years, he was a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF).\u00a0 He had also been a member of the former St. Paul\u2019s Lutheran Church of Hornell.<\/p>\n

In his younger years, Steve enjoyed hunting and throughout the years he enjoyed photography.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, other than his family, his true joy was the Hornell Fire Department.\u00a0 Going to work was never a task, it was simply a joy.\u00a0 He will be sadly missed by all of his fellow firefighters at the fire station.<\/p>\n
