Thinking of all of you. Hugs. Glad I got to work with Steve past few years and catch up on old times, really going to miss him. I was remembering our trip to state fair together and several times I've been out to the farm or brought kids to see lambs. He always had a big smile on his face and a hug for me all the time, along with some jokes of course. My prayers go out to the whole family. Need anything, don't hesitate to give me a jingle. Love always,

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time-your dad and husband was a wonderful man.

To the entire Duch family our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I always enjoyed working with Steve and Eric on the farm in the summers. We worked hard some days but Steve could always crack a joke or put a smile on your face when you needed it. I always thought if every teenager had the opportunity to work for a man like that the world would be a better place. And Patsy, those big meals after a long day in the fields were always great. Those are memories I will never forget. God bless you all.

Steve was a classmate and teammate on the NL Bulldog football team. Steve was a tough player and a competitor. I last spoke with Steve at the High School reunion and remained impressed with his style and humor. I'm so sorry. Steve was a good man.
