Steven Albert Easudes, age 79, was a father, grandfather, husband, well-liked local realtor, former motorcycle mechanic, aviation enthusiast, and wizard with all things electrical. With his wife, Anna, he built a Greek Revival-style house on a 10-acre plot in Chelsea, furnished it with antiques (the jade green kitchen stove dated to about 1925), and spent fifteen years there raising sheep and llamas, accompanied by several border collies who enjoyed herding the sheep, the llamas, the cats, local wildlife, and Steve and Anna themselves. In recent years, with their cats and their remaining border collie, Steve and Anna retired to a smaller place in downtown Chelsea.
