Dear Blazey Family,
My deepest condolences to all of you. Steve was one of my favorite customers at ASCO Supply. I have worked there for years and always will remember Steve for his smile, kindness and humor. Because I am a Mets fan, and he a Yankees fan, Steve would jokingly tease me every time he saw me. I will miss the friendly banter. Rest peacefully Steve. And to the Blazey family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences to the Blazey family during this difficult time. Steve was one of the nicest guys I have ever known. I have been friends and neighbors with the family for my entire life and grew up down the street from their East Hunting Ridge Road home. My late patents and my brothers and sisters all adored Steve. We would see him often at my parents house and he always had such a great warmth about him. Alfreda, Chris, Stephen Sr, and family please know you are in our thoughts and we are very saddened to hear this news. Let the strength of Jesus and your friends and family help you in this difficult time. Love always

To the Blazey Family,
I was deeply saddened by the news of Steve's passing. My heartfelt condolences to you all. Steve was a generous man - with his friendship, his time, his smile, his sense of humor, his heart. His was a life well-lived and well-loved. Many years ago, when we were all much younger, Steve worked at night plowing the roads of Stamford; I was lucky because he plowed the road on which I lived. I will never forget waking up at night, listening for the sound of Steve's truck lumber by and feeling comforted, safe and secure. This quiet, constant gift of comfort he gave to all of us over the years in a myriad of ways. Thank you, Steve. All my love,
