H. STEVEN DOCKTER 1948-2019
This tells of the one you want at the helm, when crossing that bar, or belaying the rope when scaling that peak. Born September 7th, 1948 in Redlands, California to Marjorie and Harold "Doc" Dockter, Steve Dockter was raised in Cutten on the outskirts...Read MoreSo sorry to hear about Steve. I will always remember the wonderful times i share with him folk dancing (the Hambo) and being in Humboldt Light Opera productions. Lots of laughs, beautiful music - shared memories.

Knew Steve from way back, both in La Paz and Eureka! Always happy to see him back in La Paz. Great story teller. Lived a true Old Man of the Sea when dragged out into the Sea by a Marlin in his small dingy. Had to get towed in by a larger boat passing. A true friend and he will be missed!

So very sorry to read of Steve's passing. My sincere condolences to the family. I was sorry to read in the article that his mother had passed as well. I knew about his dad, but his mother was no longer living here, so I was unaware and am so very sorry. Both his parents were dear friends. I knew Steve and his brothers when they were growing up and members of Calvary Lutheran Church in Eureka. Steve lived a full life and will be missed. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

When we were about 10, Steve and I ran abound with Gary and Bruce in our neighborhood. I lived at 2307 Pine Street, and all I remember about those days was watching, with Steve, the apartment building next to my house on the north side being built by a one-man crew.
The Dokters lived two houses away from my house, a little closer to Buhne St. This was 1957 to 1959. My father moved elsewhere in Eureka in 1959, so the Dokter brothers and I never saw each other again. His obituary...

Founding member of NSSA. My husband Gary Poncia is one of the handsome young men in this photo and I believe Steve Dockter as well.
