I was hoping there was another Steve Raskie my age when I heard the news on TV. He was one of a kind, however, and taken far too soon. His smile and humor will be missed at our class reunions. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May God provide comfort, strength and peace. ~ Joan (Yauch) & Denny Voigt

We are all saddened by the loss of Steven. I have so many memories of the good times at Muskie Madness and the times spent on the lake boating and water skiing. He would visit us in Utah and snow ski during the winter months. Steve could always make you smile and bring a warmness to your heart. We will all miss his humor and friendship. My condolences to Becky and Katrina. We are all thinking of you and you are in our prayers.
