There is still a dark hole in existence . We have all learned to live with the hole but miss your being daily. Your silly, smart, questioning, loving personality is carried forward by your beautiful daughters and grand-kids. Always wish you were still with us.

Dear Steve, Miss you much. I cherish the last months we spent as "friends" and am blessed to have experienced your courage and strength in the face of your illness. You never lost your sense of humor and your special knack of drawing people out. Your friends at the Rehab Facility certainly miss your presence as well. You kept me laughing right up until the last moment and I am blessed to have known you and your lovely daughters and "Sky King" You are in my heart. Cyd

Steve was my best friend during the 70's. I had the privilege of spending 1000's of hours with him. He was the funniest person I ever met. I never saw Steve in a bad mood. I have always missed his friendship.

I am so sorry to hear about Steve. I feel that we were blessed that we had Steve in our family. Steve had the best sense of humor and personalityof anyone that I ever met in my lifetime. You knew if Steve was present, that you were going to have a great time (even at our Grandpa's funeral - shame on us). He will be dearly missed by anyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. I'm so glad he left us with the most wonderful, beautiful girls, that I adore with all my being. He will never be forgotten. I think and pray for you all in this sad time.
Love,
Aunt Nancy

Steve and I were friends from grade school through high school, we shared many good times and laughs. He was one of the smartest guys I knew, never studied but always got an A! Please contact me for the gathering and celebration of his life that will be held in his honor, it would be an honor to meet his family and friends so I can share a few of the laughs I shared with Steve so many years ago.
