Not sure what to say?

Steve is a great man and I think of him as a gentle, quiet spirit. I remember him in our care groups with all the families we had and the kids all running around. I remember him dropping off packages in our neighborhood and him saying he would pray for our son who was in trouble. I remember him taking the youth and teaching them to build and just how he ministered. I also remember one time he was building an upstairs part of his home and I was in awe of all the stuff he could do and told him...

Steve, I will never forget you. The things you did for my family will always be appreciated. Many people's live externally do not match the life they live internally. Your life inside and out was a testimony to your relationship w/ Christ. The examples of your wife and children lives show how you were a man of much integrity and love. I will deeply miss you and will try to finish my life out in the way you lived yours. You have much to be proud of, especially when I see those kids of yours. I...

Steve was a great man. How lucky I am that he touched my life during my awkward high school years. I am so sorry for his family's loss.

Vicki & family,
Thank you for sharing your precious husband/father with the folks of ODBC/GLCC, and the community. He was like a favorite uncle to the youth, with such a servant's heart to all. Several years back, he delivered a drumset just before it was going to rain. He put all the boxes under the back deck, and covered them with the patio table cloth. When Kieran & I found them there, he exclaimed, "I am so glad we have a Christian UPS friend." You are an amazing family & we love...

Although I know words won't do justice to the loss experienced, I am still very sorry to hear of your loss....

So sorry for your loss. Keeping Greg and the entire Corder family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply sadden to hear that Steve has passed. Steve and I were very good friends when we met in 1961 in Loch Lomond. He lived next door to me. Later his Dad Carey was my 5th grade teacher at Loch Lomond Elementary. Steve moved to Westgate and we remained friends. In the late 80's or so, I was out in front of my townhouse. And here comes Steve in a UPS truck handing me a delivery. I hadn't seen him in years and hadn't seen him since. My deepest sympathies to Carey, Maryalice, Wende, and...

Greg, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. All of us at Shenandoah are here to support you now and into the future,
President Tracy Fitzsimmons
