He was a great employee and more importantly a friend to all of us. Our deepest condolences to all of his family and friends for this great loss. Gone way too soon... God Bless!!!
To the Benesh family, I offer my deepest condolences for your loss. We will greatly miss seeing Steve come into work with a big smile on his face every morning and so eager to help others. Steve was a great man and he will be remembered as a great co-worker and friend.
I have known Steve since 2001 from what was at that time FirstUSA. He was a good guy. I will miss him. He did love him some 80's metal. One of his greatest gifts was how willing he was to help people and never wanting anything in return. He was almost like a brother to me. I hope to see him again one day.
