On June 16, 2008, after a 21-month round with stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer, Steve Ley played onto the 19th hole. For anyone who was fortunate to have made his acquaintance, his dry sense of humor and keen intellect will never be forgotten. He loved his family. He loved his profession. He...

Not sure what to say?

I am Steve's older sister, and I never dreamed that my little brother would pass on before me. I was confident that Dr. Ley would be here for a long time to bestow upon us his wit and wisdom.

However, although his body is gone, Steve's spirit is here among us. Just the other morning, I was struggling to reach the top of a long, steep hill. I looked up at the summit - so far away - and I could see Steve standing there, smiling, saying, "You can do it; come on." That's all I...

Steve Ley (we always called him "SteveLey")was such a familiar face at our dinner table during the '70's.Our house often had more than a few hungry boys from St.Mary's over for food and conversation.My mother always had a lot of both.There were four of us girls in high school(Stacey,Holly,Marcy,Lindsey) and two younger brothers each of which seemed to especially need his attention.I am surprised we didn't scare him off! However Steve continued to visit Mom long after we were gone.(the food...

Steve and I met in 1973 where we worked at the same club. He was one of the few people I've ever met on whom you could truly count. His word was his bond. He was a man who believed in integrity and dignity and he lived his life so as to be a model of these characteristics. Those who knew him well learned much from him...how to live...how to behave. And we miss him dearly. God bless you Annie; you are in our prayers

I feel blessed to have known Dr.Ley professionally, but most importantly as a friend. I will never forget his hilarious dry and unusual sense of humor. His wit and wisdom will always make me laugh. It was always a great day in the O.R. when we were working together, he was so loved by everyone. To Annie and family, my prayers are with you.

I only met Steve a handful of times, usually when we were picking up or dropping off our daughters at each other's houses. The girls would tell stories of how Steve would make them dinner and do silly dances around the kitchen. They would bend over in laughter while telling me these stories. Sarah ADORED her Daddy! Sarah, your Dad passed on his hilarious sense of humor to YOU,..... cherish that trait. My thoughts go out to all of you..... BIG HUGGGGS Sarah

I only knew Steve through the love and devotion that his daughter Sarah had for him. Such a beautiful and talented young lady could only come from someone very caring and professional. My love and prayers go out to all the family. Remember, that his spirt will live on, in each of you!

Ann and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with your time of loss.

Molly and Bob

I wish we could have met, I always heard such wonderful stories about you and Sarah. Your memory will live on forever in your Children.

Dear Annie,

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
A Time for Everything

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heavenC
2 A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time...
