Not sure what to say?

Cindy,I'm so sorry to hear about Steve! I just heard the news tonight from Harold's nephew who worked with Steve and was talking about him and I just couldn't believe it was your steve he was talking about. Harold's nephew was so surprised that I knew Steve. Gun Lake was a time of wonderful memories for our families! We look back on that time with such joy and fondness.

Cindy, Ben and Todd,

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I just heard of Steve's passing, it's saddens me so. Steve was my first boss with xpedx, and a super one at that! I really enjoyed working closely with him. He always was so understanding, and always held a smile.

Love and sympathy to you and your family.

Cindy, Sandee and I are so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was much to young. We also would like to apologize for not being there to express our sorrow personally due to being out of state.
I have very fond memories working with Steve at Carpenter Paper. Though he worked in the warehouse while going to college, I had the pleasure of training him in the sample department. We had great times, tough times and very happy times to say the least. Watching Steve excel through the years was...
