Steve wore a lot of yellow t-shirts. It wasn't that he particularly liked yellow but, being a big guy, yellow was usually the only color left :)
He wore a t-shirt and jeans to work every day. And when he'd wear his yellow t-shirt, the guys would serenade him with a rousing rendition of "You Are My Sunshine." He used to chuckle about it. Steve died on a Tuesday and on Friday of that same week, his co-workers all wore yellow t-shirts in his honor and sang the song one last time...
Last week, I was cleaning out some old emails and found an address for his old co-worker, Brent. He really thought a lot of Brent -- he was his first friend at Triumph. Well, Brent wrote me last night that they all wore their yellow t-shirts on August 7th, Steve's anniversary. It touched me that they remembered -- and I know Steve was chuckling. It really made my day that my he wasn't forgotten that day.
You Are My Sunshine...My Only Sunshine...
