Stephen Edward Dinsmore

You were such a good friend and kind man. Barry and I will miss you. We will never forget how you D-Jayd our wedding and the friendship that followed. Thank you Steve for showing me understanding, patience, and how to listen. I thank God for placing you in my path. What a GREAT human being. Truly Steve you will be missed!!

My Dear Melinda and Girls, I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I know that you will miss him dearly and hope that the joy of your life together helps you through this very tough time. Know that Rich and I are thinking of you and sending giant hugs your way. I meant what I said when we last spoke. The bond you two shared is an inspiration to all...God Bless You!

My heart goes out to the Dinsmore Family at this time and in the days ahead. I had the pleasure of working with Steve as a Probation Officer in Oakland County. Steve was always an optimist at work and a very proud husband and father. His "girls" were everything to him. Steve had such a kind heart and warm smile. His silly laugh always added amusement to his stories. May his soul rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dear Melinda,
I am so saddened to hear of Steves passing. I know how much you supported me when my own husband was passing and know that the same feelings and thoughts are being sent your way.
Love you always

A team mate, college roommate, and a childhood best friend, Steve was always fun to be with and always cared about others. We shared many great childhood days in the pool, playing rummy or chess, or hopping his fence to play baseball or football. Even though I was always one of the last to be chosen when teams were picked, Steve always included me. He was competitive but also kept things in the perspective of having fun. While growing up we played basketball on various teams for more than ten...

Dear Melinda, I am truly sorry to hear that Steve passed away. He always made me laugh. You are blessed to have such a fine man and husband. Please know that I am thinking of you always. With love, Theresa (Dean) and boys

Stevie D was a great man. Always a smile on his face! Stevie had great stories and I loved talking sports with him. He always kept me updated on his daughters games and I was even lucky enough to watch a couple with him. You are already missed...Wendi

Steve was not only my fellow official, but a great guy. On those long rides to and from games, the discussion was more about family with him, than it was anything else. See you in Heaven Steve!

I am sorry for the loss of Steve. He was a very kind, very gentle person. Always smiling and laughing. I worked with him in Saginaw at the prison and I have seen him since he was at Probation in Flint. Your family is in my prayers and thoughts during this time.
