Not sure what to say?

Dear Chris,

Sorry to learn of your father's passing. The last few years have been difficult for your family.


I was always in admiration of of your caring and concern for both your mother and father. You have been a wonderful son.

Thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.

Hope to see you back in the 5:30 aquatics class sometime.

Steve looked so much like my Dad it was hard to believe he was not Irish! Steve was a great voice for the print industry and he help build a great family business. He was hard to get to know but once he let you in you were his friend for life. Thanks for his support for Graphic Technology Education Center (GTEC) and the print industry. I was thankful to visit him a short time ago and could not help to notice his good spirits! Love to his family!

Steve was a hard-driving, Old School craftsman of the printer's art. He held to high standards, and I admired his wit, his honesty, and fundamental decency. As a journalism and government teacher, I appreciated his counsel, unvarnished candor, and unselfish support. What a legacy he leaves to the sons of whom he was so proud, and to the city he so loved.

I was very blessed to get to know Steve Gann as a friend. He was very encouraging to me when the printing company I was part-owner in was closing its doors. I was deeply honored when I became a Catholic Deacon, that he came to my ordination. We didn't know each other long enough, but the breach will be mended in eternity. May he rest in peace.

Steve was a true friend and mentor. His kindness and humor were always a bright spot in the day. He will be missed!

Mr. Gann had an impact on all who knew him. He was a friend as well as my boss. Best to the family.

We were friends for the past 15 years and he will be MISSED by us.

We were deeply saddened to hear of your father's death. Steve was a wonderful man and it was obvious to all how much he loved his family. We cannot imagine the heartache you all must feel right now. Please know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
