A 30-year volunteer, Steele has served various organizations including the Orwell Volunteer Fire Department and the American Legion Post #358 in Pulaski. He is a life-long resident of Oswego County; father of three, grandfather to four and inspiration to them all; teaching them the life lesson of giving back to their community.
