Linda and Steve, I just read about "little" Steve's passing. I cannot even imagine your pain and your grief. Linda, as I watched Steve grow up, I learned so much from you about how to mother a son. You have been an amazing mother and you should be proud! Now know that your son rests in peace. My love, thoughts and prayers to both of you and to Alexis and Ashley.

I was so saddened to read of
Steve's passing. I have fond memories of Steve, Denise and the girls when they would come to the Coliseum Mall (Whitehall Jewelers). He was a man that loved his family. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family and his many friends for such a loss.

I remembered him working at the dorms at Langley AFB, VA. His passing is definitely unfortunate and one I really hate to hear. I knew him off and on for a few years, and I can't say that could think of anything bad to say about him if I wanted to. He was a great guy, willing to help others, even if it meant going out of his way to do it. While working in supply section at the 71st AMU, he was patient and professional. He was a wonderful person all round from what I knew, he will be greatly missed by those he helped and worked with.My condolences to his family as well.
