Lynn & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Steve was a great guy - always laughing and cracking jokes.

We're going to miss him at all the basketball games, but we know the Sabers have a cheerleader in heaven.
God Bless!

Cassem family,
Kris has been my "chihuahua neighbor" for many years and she has shared so many stories about her family with me, so I feel her pain right now with the loss of her Uncle Steve.
Bless you all and my prayers are with you at this time.

Lynn, Blake and family,
Our sincere sympathy upon the loss of your husband and dad. He was a fixture at your basketball games. I ran into him at NW Bookstore a few years ago, and we had a pleasant conversation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Cassem family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Steve. I was recommending his store to a friend when I heard the news. Steve was a wonderful, cheerful friend at the Scott County Fair every summer. He watched over my EdwardJones booth and kept all of us in a good mood. He will be truly missed!

Dear Adena & Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father.
I just wanted to leave a fun memory of being at your dads house when we were in high school .
We were having a sleep over and decided to take a late night swim and got bombed with bats, we started screaming and your Dad came running out by the pool and was so scared something was wrong. We all laughed so hard about it the next day ... But the look on his face was priceless .
I want you and your family to know if you need anything or even want to talk about memories please contact me.
My family has you in our thoughts and prayers ...
