Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of taking care of Steven when he was in the Turner hall at Caretel for rehab. What a joy of a man he was! Always a smile foe me. I loved how gentle and very appreciative he was in the care I was giving. He would load up my pockets with coffees and snacks he knew I loved! I would sit at my desk later and have them with thoughts of Steven in my head! I sure loved that man. I will always think of him smiling down as I make my rounds ❤

I got to know Steve through playing bridge. He was a lovely man and will be missed.
Deep sympathy and love to all of Steve's family.

I worked with Steve , he made going to work more enjoyable. I'm sure he'll be missed by all that knew him. Right now where he is he's looking for a bridge game. RIP buddy.

I worked with Steve at AC, He was a joy to talk, learn from and to play cribbage at lunch! His smile is something that I will always remember. He spoke very highly of his family! He was a wonderful person to learn the trade from! Thank you

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Just want to pass along my sympathies to the family. I will always remember his infectious laugh, him driving around in the yellow station wagon, the funs games he came up with ( Broom Game, He Who Can Not Do This Is Stupid). He really knew how to entertain all us kids.

RIP Steve. We will miss you.

Steve will be missed so very much! I enjoyed our talks.. Work will def not be the same without his smile and laughter :(

I have many fond memories of family gatherings with Steve when he was married to my sister. We always played cards...Pinochle, eucher, or "dumb and stupid games". He was always patient with us "younger" members of the family when we were just learning to play.
