     Good morning. My name is Jeff Faber and Steve Kulavick is my Uncle Steve. It is an honor to speak with you today as we celebrate Steve's life. In recent conversations I have had with different people who knew Steve, the same words were repeatedly used to describe him. Kind. Fun. Hard-working. A storyteller with a bigger-than-life personality. A proud father with profound love for his son Chad. Uncle Steve was all these things and so much more. Chad, I want to thank you for sharing your father with me and I hope you find these words represent him well.
