To Donna and your family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I didn't know Steven, but you and I went to HS together. It is always a sad moment when a friend or spouse of a friend leaves us. May you always know friends are thinking of you.

My family is so sorry for your loss. Truly sorry we couldn't make it for the funeral. My sister and I grew up with Steve in Otego and knew him all our lives and went to school with him. He will be missed by all his friends in the Otego and Oneonta area. Last time I saw Little Steve and Lisa they were young children. I have many fond memories of Steve growing up with him. He will truly be missed by everyone he touched but will never be forgotten. God Bess you Steve and may you rest in peace. Till be meet again and can share our memories. Gerald Leonard, Otego, NY.

To the entire Bump family,

My sincere condolences on your loss. This came as a big shock to me
since it has been some time since i had seen Steve. He was a life long friend since our days at Bic in the 80's and afterward as well. Our lives took separate roads but we still crossed paths now and again and it was always a pleasure to see his smiling face. He will be missed by all his family and friends. rest in peace my brother.

My condolences to Steve's family. I first met Steve when I was about 16. Always friendly, a great guy. Although we had not seen each other since the 70's, when I lived in Unadilla, I never forgot his friendship.
