Steve was a great guy. He was always positive, upbeat, kind and funny. He actually hooked me up with my first car ever and also probably worked on every car I've ever owned. He was always fun to joke around with at family gatherings and although he and Janet never officially tied the knot, he always felt like family to us. Steve was one of a kind and he most certainly will be missed by all of us in the Storrs family.

I just wanted to say Steve will be greatly missed at the picnic at my grandparents house. He was a perfect match for my aunt Janet. I still have that spark plug flashlight-key chain he gave me. Actually I think he gave one to everyone in the Storrs family. Every time I use it I will think of him.
I am sure he will have a special place in everyone's heart that knew him.

R.I.P. Steven
dont tell me your gone for i will cry
dont tell me gone for i will die
i pray for light to shine down on you
for my heart has turned very blue
but if you say good bye tonight
what will happen tomorrow at first light
will god take you in to his hand
or will the holy ghost make you walk the first band
but if your brave and show your face
will they let you move on and embrace
for i can not see you walk in to the light
will you stop by and hold on tight
for the night around me has gone black
i will never see you come back
but just remember the loved ones here
will always love you no matter where
but since im wrong and your gone
will are friendship be done
for how can you be friends with a spirit
we were just getting started with that lip can you hear it
but since i cant say bye and shake you hand
just remember i loved you as much as i can.
this is really titled i dont want tomorrow to come. but its for steven no matter what. i will always miss steven.

I only met Steven once a few years ago when he was visiting Janet. He was a very nice person and for sure made Janet very happy. She has told me many funny stories about him, his ups and downs, and I felt like I knew him. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Clark family. My heart truly goes out to you Janet as I see you struggling to make it through this. Steven has touched your life in so many ways and those things will never be forgotten. While he may not be with us anymore he is in a much better place and his suffering is over. While you were expecting this the real thing is always harder. Just remember he loved you and will forever love you. Give yourself some time to grieve and when you are ready you can once again smile upon your sweetie pie's memories.

To Barbara and Family ,
My deepest sympahties to you all. I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers. As I will always keep in Steven my heart, becauase he capture my heart. I still can 't believe that Steven is real gone. Truly he was the greatest of all men. The love he had for Janet was so great that the smallest of memories come to my mind. Like when we had picnic down by the river to see Steven and Janet hold hands was such a wonderful thing to see.
I thank God that we have loved and got to know Steven even for only 10 years . And I know that we all will be with Steven once again , but this time forever and ever. I went on line to see what was great about the Grand Canyon , and there is no doubt in my mind , that as I write this , he is kayaking on a river at the Grand Canyon. I truly hope that I gave you a little hope to hang on to. May peace and love be with you.

Sorry for your loss,but it was a big loss for me, my husband,and my daughter's.
When God made Steven he threw the mold away.There is none like him.He is the only guy I know of, who would take his girlfriends parents along on trips and vacations.We went to VA Beach,Myrtle Beach,White mts in NH,waterparks,seal watching in ME.He had us ride atv's,climb light houses,and skip through a parking lot what fun!! We looked forward to him coming to our home on weekends.We enjoyed him at our picnic's, just sitting by the bombfire talking.There are so many things about Steven that warm my heart, i can go on for hours. we love him and we sure miss him alot.

To the family-
Steve was the best boyfriend that my aunt has ever had. He truly cared for her and loved her in a way that no other man has. One memory of him sicks out in my head- years ago, a bunch of my family along with Steve went tubing down the Farmington River and we all had a blast. Steve will be deeply missed. Condolences to all of Steve's family and friends.

Barbara, Ron, Janet, and all who loved Steven,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Steve was an avid stained glass hobbist, and was not afraid to tackle any project he wanted to make. He was creative, and would always bring his completed work to show to me. He was friendly, sensitive, and talented, and he loved his family and girlfriend Janet. No matter what obstacle he faced, he faced it with strength and optimism, and I will miss seeing his ever smiling face at my store.
I hope you will all find much comfort in your many happy memories, and pride in having been such a big part of his life.
With my deepest sympathy,
Amy Custis, Trinity Stained Glass

I worked with Steve over twenty years ago but have thought about him over the years. I remember him as a sweet and sensitive guy even though he worked with a bunch of guys in a garage! I enjoyed the time I worked with him.
My sympathies go to his girlfriend and family at this difficult time. May your memories stay close in your hearts.
