Dear Stevens family, I was so sad to hear about your dad. I enjoyed working (when he wasn't stealing my lunch) and getting to know him. He was a special man. Cherish each and every memory. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, God Bless.
So very sorry to hear about your dad Corky ! I hope your memories help with the grief! Kim Foreman
So very sorry to hear about Bob, I have so many memories of Bob from when I started with the Forest Service some 25 years ago. He was always so willing to help someone out and give advice and help you learn. I'll really miss not seeing him up in the woods getting firewood. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
