| Deanna and Dick - so very sorry to hear of your loss. I also lost a younger brother, 3 years ago, and so I know just how you must be feeling. Cancer seems to be so prevalent these days, and strikes those we love without notice. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. |

| Ronnie Steele, age 61, was the brother of Judy Steele Sutton ('64) and brother-in-law of Lee Sutton ('64). Services are Thursday in Newport News. I didn't know him but certainly know Judy and Lee. Lee was a next door neighbor when we lived in Idaho. Our heart felt sympathy to the entire Steele family. |
