Thoughts and prayers go out to the Paiko Family.
RIP Steve. I worked with Steve at G.M. and Delphi. He was a great guy. He loved his family. He was always talking about his family.
Our family offers our deep condolences and love to the Paiko family. Steve was a great friend and wonderful scout master to both our sons. We will always treasure the happy memories of those camping trips. The flashlight episode was the best. God bless you Steve and Sandy. Rest with God in your new life.
