I started working with Steven about 9 years ago. He was the best boss I ever had the privilege of working for. While my main responsibilities lay in serving the Laclede Baptist Association, I was also in charge of keeping track of Steven’s keys (in the door), his coffee mug (on the conference room table) his checkbook (on the roof of his vehicle), etc. I will miss our “Staff” meetings, Friday donuts, his love of the Lord, his Saturday morning mug shots, our office temperature disagreements, his beautiful photos, his compassion, his apologies for making me cry 😉, his thoughtfulness, generosity, and kindness. There are a plethora of other things that would take too long. I am thankful you’re no longer in pain my friend. You were a good and faithful servant. You were still and now you know. Thank You for being my friend and brother in Christ.
