Stepper, there's not too many left here on earth like you. You were always willing to run to help a friend. Your personality shined like a beacon . I always admired how you treated your lady , as you would call her " Ms. Evelyn" I thought that was cute too ! with such dignity and pride . And in your face we could see the glow of happiness when you were surrounded by your children and grandchildren.. You had a beautiful heart Sterry no one can ever doubt that. Rest in peace my dear friend , you've been a true blessing to all of us to the very end.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Always a song in the heart and smile on the face. On one occasions he laughed and told me that we all encounter some unbelievable things we don't care for but if we just smile and remember the better things in life we can get through almost anything. So right!

What a great friend and dear person. It was a pleasure getting to know you for more than 50 years. I will never forget our corny jokes and childish behavior that made us giggle like children. That's what good friends do for each other. They make them focus on the good times and fun times. You will be sorely missed my friend. Until we meet again, RIP. You were one of a kind.

I met Sterry when I truly needed a friend. He was a band mate, a mentor and a truly great friend. I can't say I know what his family is going through, but when such a great family man such as Sterry is taken from us the effects of that loss is far reaching. I hope you find peace in knowing that you now have a truly wonderful man watching over you in heaven.
