He worked for Scott's Furniture for the last 25 years, where many people knew Steve for his friendly demeanor and commitment to making each and every customer feel extra special. He continued to work until his illness forced him to go out on disability in October 2016. Steve enjoyed fishing, riding his motorcycle, bike week in OC, his beloved Dallas Cowboys, and of course, the Orioles.
