Steve "The Count" Dominic Gronas

Steve my best memory of you is when I came to the hospital and asked you if you were ready to meet your maker and you said yes . I then aked if you wanted me to pray with you . You said yes. So together we prayed the sinners prayer .   I know without a doubt you are with your Lord and Savior resting in his presence and His peace. Can't wait to see you there walking on streets of gold and spending enternity togehter.  You were a good person Steve  and a wonderful husband and father and giving of yourself to others . You will always be in our hearts.

Love your sister -in -Law

Hi my name is Rich and I'm from Pontiac Mi. I never knew Steve in Michigan but I met him in Las vegas..he was here doing a car show and he wandered into a bar where my group The NiteKings was playing...we sang a song that I learned in Detroit by the Enchanters called "There Goes a Pretty Girl"...When we finished i walked to the bar and stood next to Steve and to my amazement he said that was one of his favorite songs and asked me where I learned it(never ran into anyone who knew that song but me) but as they say "the rest is history" We saw each other everytime he came to town...we talked about all the musicians we knew back in Detroit..I will miss those visits and those great talks..Steve knew a lot of music and I'm sure he blowing a tune or two now. God Bless and condolences to family and friends Rich
