Not sure what to say?

Miss you Saul xoxoxo Diane

I wanted to send my prayers to his family. He was a wonderful person and great teacher. I have been through a lot in my life and I always remember his support and guidance. He was my mentor and I wish I had told him this, he turned me on to writing and words....yes the words that make you converse with others...thank you and rest in peace...Stephen M.Celico, Writer, poet and thankful....

I always remember him as my teacher at WHS in 1972. I used to love him, he was great. I used to think it was so funny because he would listen to all you had to say and then write a big TS on the blackboard, the YS was for Tough Story..

Saul Steiner was by far the best -most educated-teacher i have ever known....we will miss you saul

Mr Steiner was my favorite teacher during high school you will be sadly missed condolences to the family of Mr Steiner

A Guest Book cluttered with pearls and fond memories of a great man.

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time. Mr. Steiner was a brilliant teacher and one admired by many. I am forever grateful to say that I was a student in his English class. God Bless you with his peace Mr. Steiner.

Sincerely,
Janet Pellegrino
