Stephen "Steve" Ireland

I found out about Steve passing while on a golf course here in Charlotte. Whenever I play there I still think about Steve and the family and remember the fun times both in KC and Orlando.

I want to express my sadness to the Ireland family. My husband Bob & I knew both Steve and Julie at Raytown High School. Bob graduated with Steve in '68, and I graduated in '69. My brother-in-law Steve Hawkins graduated in '70 with Julie. Steve and Julie were friendly and kind to everyone while we were still "kids". We ran into Steve twice over the years when he was in KC. I am bad about not reading the obits on a regular basis, and I found out about Steve's passing from my mother. My...

I was so shocked when I heard of Steves' passing and even more shocked to hear that Julie preceded him in death. I just wish I had kept in better touch. Ralph I still go by your house when I'm in KC. I would love to see you all again when I get to KC 5th of June 2008. Geez Matt I hadn't talked to you since I had to log you in 1 of the facilities I monitored. Diane (froggy) I hadn't seen you since I was at the Pavillon installing your phones and terminals. I...

I just heard about Steve's passing and I was so surprised. I remember all the times in KC when we worked and played together and then later in Casselberry after we had been transferred. My kids and Margo are back in Kansas City and know of his death. I am in NC and found out through Margo's brother who also worked with Steve back at Southwestern Bell.

Terri, if there is anything I can do please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 704-806-7706.

Laura, Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Steve and I worked together at AT&T, he was such a nice person and had so much love for his family.

Weeping endureth for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

May God continue to bless your family.

I never met Steve, But I work with his son Scott and he is truly a fantastic and wonderful person. Steve should be very honored to have raised a son who is amazing in everything he does. He will be missed and will be thought about. My prayers are with the entire Ireland Family.

Vickie and I were very surprised and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. We fondly remember all the great dinners we had together every Tuesday night at Fazoli's (nearly 4 year's worth!). We looked forward to the latest movie reviews from Steve and the latest news on the kids and grandchildren. It's funny how such simple gatherings help to bring people closer together.

Of course it's not just our weekly Fazoli "date" where we saw Steve and Terri. We can't count the number of hours...
