It is my pleasure once again to write something about a wonderful man who is missed so much. I think about how much he has affected not only my life but the lives of the many students and co workers who had the honor of knowing him. He is thought about every day. May he rest in peace and blessings to his family.

It was an honor to know Peter Steck and to work with him during the years that my children attended MGV. He was a wonderful principal and an advocate for all children. He was well loved by the children and well respected by parents and teachers alike. My deepest condolences to the Steck family. You truly have lost a great man.

What a wonderful man, great teacher and principal. Amazing father and grandfather. You took a chance and hired me as a kindergarten para back in '96. You were a sweet boss and and we all admired you. Every year you came to the high school graduation to honor the students. We will miss you terribly. Our prayers are with Alice and your family. Thank you for everything.

Everyone was amazed by the fact that he greeted every single child who entered his school every morning by their first name. His love of music and the arts, and his encouragement to the children to pursue their dreams lifted self esteem and their...

"No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child" (Abraham Lincoln) Measured by this standard Mr. Steck was a giant man, and I am forever grateful to him for the kindness and support he showed my son when he was a student at MGV.
