Not sure what to say?

I met Steve through Skeet League and want to share a story. Each league night includes a shoot-off if your score ends with the "lucky number." I was in a shoot-off with Steve, and he won (he really was a great shooter). When I came to league the next week he came up to me and handed me $20.00 (which is the winning amount from the shoot-off). I looked at him with a puzzled expression and he explained that his score was calculated incorrectly, and he should not have been in the shoot-off. ...

I came to know Steve and Jeannine through bowling. Always a warm, friendly smile and the giver of great hugs while simultaneously giving you a "hard time"! Steve, my dear friend, you will be missed.

Steve, you'll be very much missed.

We knew Steve through the gun club at
Del. Such a sweet man with many stories and a smile. Sure will miss him.

I can't even begin to express my condolences to Steve's family. It's been years since I last saw him but my daughter Lori will never forget the times we spent with the family. The first thing I remember is his since of humor! God bless him and he and Donna will be together again! My heartfelt sorrow goes out to your family

Steve, we will miss you so much. I will miss your hugs and Dean will miss your playfulness. You were a rare and kind person. Your friendship will be missed and cherished forever.

I'd like to share a story. I shot skeet league with Steve and we were both in the "shoot-off" and the end of the night. This is a somewhat random event based on the number your score ends with. Steve won (he was a great shooter). The following week he came up to me and handed me $20.00 (which is the winnings from a shoot-off). I looked at him with a puzzled expression. He explained that he learned that there was a scoring error, and he should not have been in the shoot-off, so I would...

Dad, I cannot believe you are gone. I am grateful you were not gravely ill or debilitated with sickness, and went peacefully in your sleep. The family and friends are in disbelief over your sudden disappearance from our lives. You are the example of a nearly perfect man (only because no one is actual perfect). When we meet again, you can correct me and say, “No, I am perfect, and Mr. wonderful.” I am sure it was glorious to be reunited with Donna, and your mom and dad. I know that every...

Hi Steve, sorry you had to leave, you will be greatly missed. We always enjoyed your company in making us laugh. Say hi to Donna for us. Much love, Sandra and Marianne
