Besides sharing a birthday we shared many good times. You taught me so much and just miss you. Tell Dennis hello, give him a hug for me!

Steve was my supervisor at the Montana Lottery for several years. He always had a way of helping me that was kind, professional and got the job done. My sincere sympathy for his family. I will hold you in prayer in the difficult days ahead.

Runelle and family-
So sad to hear of Steve’s passing. He was always good for a smile and a joke. Always a bright light. Always loved when he came into Albertson’s to see you. He will be greatly missed. Do know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and you will always have a shining star guiding and watching over you! My deepest sympathies.
Love to you all!
SETH FOSTER says
Dad, you meant the world to me as a role model in my life. I would not be the man I am without your love and guidance. I know we will see each other again someday. Until that day, I Love you dad. Your son, Seth Foster
Kassie Rinearson says
Dad, I have so many good memories of our times together. I don’t know where to start. I am so broken hearted that I didn’t get to say I love you one last time or hold your hand. I can look down at my arm and see your initials, which I am so thankful you went with me to get. I will never forget the proud spark in your eye when you saw what tattoo I was getting, even if you didn’t want me to get another one. You will be forever missed but not forgotten and I will carry you in my heart. All my love dad, Rest In Peace!! 💔

Dear Runelle and Foster Family, So sorry to read about Steve’s passing. My how time flies. doesn’t seem that long ago he was out buying up property around Helena. Steve was a fun person to be around. Always enjoyed his company. He has been often thought about at our house. Every large family dinner we gathered around the table he gave me from the Lamborn house. I’m sure he’ll be forever missed!
