Stephen Jon Eckhardt

So sorry for your loss, Mary and family! Please accept my deepest sympathy May Steve´s memory be a blessing! Arlene Litton Opengart

I knew Steve at CBHS and remember him as a cheerful, friendly and determined man. We met a couple of times in the years since high school and it was always encouraging to learn about his activities and successes. I´ve told my sons often how much Steve´s determination and positive attitude accomplished. My best wishes to his family.

In remembrance of Steve Eckhardt from his sister Teri Eckhardt Harvey. I think I learned to read from Steve while sitting in the backseat of a 1950's Buick. Steve was a reader, he read everything, I mean every Billboard and road sign on any family trip. He especially loved the Burma Shave road signs next to the Illinois cornfields saying the cadence out loud as we drove past! He also made dad stop at any and every historical marker. Steve's love of history served him well his whole life....
