Stephen M. D'Onfro

To Beth, Jill, Kate & Madeline D'Onfro; brother Paul and the family,

We offer you our condolences on the passing of Steve, your dearly loved husband, father and brother.

It is evident he was an extraordinary man who made a very positive impression on the lives of others.

May you be comforted by knowing that his presence was meaningful for so many people and that his spirit will continue to remain alive in the hearts of all who loved him.

Sincerely,

I can honestly say that Steve made a positive impression on me and he will be greatly missed. His letters over that last year or so were inspirational and I’ve shared them with others who have needed strength. Here's one last “Go Hammer” for Steve.

Dear D'Onfro Family,
You have been in my thoughts and heartfelt prayers since I have heard this news. I am so very sorry for your loss and I know there are no words that can lessen your pain. I pray the Lord will comfort, sustain and carry you in your time of greatest need.

With Love & Deepest Sympathy,

Beth, Kate, Maddy, Jill, and all of Steve's family and close friends:
As we planted rose bushes this morning in his honor, we contemplated Steve's life and what this world has really lost. He made a difference in the lives of so many people, and was not afraid to reach out. We will miss Steve. Our hearts go out to all of you as you deal with his loss. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts.
Dana, Ceci, Marlaina & Caroline Wilkinson

Dear Beth and Girls,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure and honor of working with Steve for 10 years. We joined Advantis at roughly the same time and often shared the joy of being a father to three beautiful daughters. What a great leader. Steve knew every Advantis employee by their first name and let each of us know how important we were to the Advantis team. I will always remember his compassion, courage, and grace. I am so thankful I was able to have Steve in my life....

Dear Beth & Girls,

I’m terribly sorry and sadden to hear about the loss of Steve. I meet Steve 4 ½ years ago when I began my employment with Advantis Technologies. The neatest thing about working for Steve is that he seemed more like a colleague than a boss. He will be missed by all who had the opportunity meet him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dear Beth and Daughters,
I met Steve several years ago and I was impressed by the way he knew all of the employees names in the warehouse during a plant tour. What a special spirit he had - he talked about his family and his faith and of course baseball. It was a pleasure to have him in our lives - he touched a lot of people - he will not be forgotten. I will continue to pray for his spirit and your family. God Bless!

Dear Beth & Girls,
Steve will be saddly missed by all who have had the opportunity to have him come into their life. For me it was 3-1/2 years ago when he hired me. You could not ask for a more caring boss. You and the girls must be very proud of him, I know I am. I now have a new Guardian Angle.

Beth and Girls,
I feel honored to have known and worked for Steve. He never made anyone feel like they worked "for" him, but rather "with" him. He was so respected and will be greatly missed. So very sad. Leigh (the one who sends the bugs and quarters :))
