    Dear Begni Family, I worked with Steve for a long time. To say he made going to work enjoyable would be an understatement. He was always there for you when needed. He had a personality that lit up a room. Always a gentleman, and respected by all. Many Mid-Orange Corr. Fac. "Old Timers" remember him well. May Steve rest in peace with the Angels. Right now his Mom and Dad and his Son have him in their arms. Godspeed my friend. Blessings to all.
