I had the honor of being one of Steve's classmates at Sts. Peter & Paul. I did not follow the same path as Steve but rather choose a family life. Steve honored me by being one of my groomsmen at my wedding. Steve was a wonderful individual, loved by all. He will surely be missed.

Along with everyone who knew & admired Fr. Steve, I am so deeply saddened. It's hard to believe that he is finished with his work on this planet.
Father Steve retained me to assist in establishing a Communications department for PIME /USA. I was honored to work with PIME and come to know this honorable,humble,dedicated & conscientious individual. He so sincerely,lived his life in service to God and humanity. I am grateful for knowing him. I wonder what assignment, God has for this compassionate,talented soul. I believe God needs this spirit for matters we will eventually know. Thank you God.

Jim,
I met Steve as a young priest when he was still in the seminary. We were close in age but I was ordained and we befriended while he was at St. Nicholas Parish in Chicago. Steve and I became immediate friends. He was indeed one of the smartest and most hilarious people I have ever had the privilage to know. He knew my family-usually at every gathering-adding his unique charm. My family is devestated and I am devestated at the sad news. Steve and I traveled to Ireland together on holiday a million years ago-I have so many wonderful memories-and stories. I shall miss his spirit, his laughter and flawless knack to mock the absurdy of misused authority! What a fine and wonderful treasure. I viewed Steve's last video-so Steve-so joyfilled, so poking fun at himself, so Real about whats best about us. Your brother was a powerful voice in all that is good! God Rest You My Brother. You have served so exceptionally well! I can just here his response-let's just say I am chuckling. Peace be to you all. Terry Mc Nicholas

Dear Family of Father Baumbusch, Father seemed to be such a good and holy priest. We met him at St. Mary's in German Village when Father Hammond was our pastor. May God be with all of you and may God grant Father Steve eternal rest in Him.

Our sympathy to you and your family on the death of your brother, Reverend Father Steven Baumbusch. We've heard him give Homily on several occasions at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Mount Vernon and were always moved and impressed by his work in the Philipines. We spoke with him a number of times during some of his visits with his good friend, Father Hammond. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. Peace, Bob and Cathie Bricking, Mt. Vernon Ohio

Jim Baumbusch,
My sympathy to you and your family on the death of your brother, Reverend Father Steven Baumbusch. I have heard him give Homily on several occasions at Saint Anrew Church and was always moved and impressed by his work in the Philipines. I had an opportunity to speak to him after one service and only then learned of his relationship to you and he had gone to a porochial high schoon. Not UA.
For Cheryl, my daughter in Grand Junctin, CO. and me, you and he will be forever in our thoughts and memories.
Most sincerely,
Robert Zicht

Shelly and I first met Steve when he was 17 and we were just married. Through the last 36 years we have all remained the best of friends. Steve was with us when both kids, Jake and Jessica, were born and became our Daughter’s God Father. He had a story he always told the kids about Santa Clause that we didn’t even know about until he walked in the door one day and both kids repeated it at once. Shelly and I just looked at each other as they told us they have been telling this story for years. When Jessica was married Steve made it a point to be in Columbus to be there for her. Father Steve and Father Mark held a very personal service since they had both known her since she was born. Steve told everyone she had to listen because he am also her Father. And he was, he was our family. Jessica bought the home Steve grew up from his parents and both our kids had lived there. I reminisce about all the things we did as we all grew up together and bonded like brothers. Steve was indeed a great man but to us he was a great friend. When he came home from the Philippines he would move in with us and we always had great time talking about all the things we did together, all the fun we had, all the great times. When Shelly was sick in April Steve came to Nashville to help, we talked about getting a motor home and traveling in it all together after we retire. We had just come back from Columbus where we stayed with our daughter and son-in-law (his family home). I had just sent Steve an e-mail saying we had stayed there and Shelly made his mothers Special Baily’s recipe and we toasted to him and his parents. I don’t know that he ever got that. Steve always had a smile on his face and a good joke or more to tell. He was loyal to the church and did many great things in his way to short life. He devoted his life to helping people all over the world with only their happiness for his pay. He was indeed a great man and a brother to Shelly and I. We have a very hard time believing that we will not laugh together again. We can only believe that The Good Lord needed a great man by his side. A great man that can continue his work in Heaven. God Bless you Steve.

Steve made a commitment to Christ in high school that he never dishonored. I believe, I know, that to his last he believed that God is good . . . all the time. His journey with Christ will always be an inspiration to me, and (I am sure) to every life he touched.
