STEVEN MESQUITE

I miss this man who inspired me as a child. I got to meet him many times as went to to church together back in the 70s.

First of all, I apologize for submitting my condolences at such a late date. I had not been involved in the Castro Valley area for quite some time. I grew up right around the corner from the Mesquite Family. I loved the whole family! Rick was my age, he was my boyfriend in junior high school. Skip was my brothers' age. (Steve Canright, (died in Nam) and Rick Canright,(passed in 2015). Herman and Elaine -the kindest people I have ever met. Losing loved ones is something that we can't...

I know he must have in Castro Valley where I grew up. My brothers were/are Tower of Power fanatics. And I knew his dad as an umpire from little league. Good memories. Nice people.

Nancy, Kind and wonderful, genuine and loving, is how I will always remember you and Skip. One of my favorite Sunday Night Fellowships was when Skip and his father (who was visiting at the time) put on a great show of music and humor. Trusting that you all are doing well and living in the grace of God's tender Hands. Jackie Malmberg

I was just thinking of Skip and ran across this posting. I met and knew Skip totally out of the music world, he was a great sales guy that I had the pleasure of working closely with as a Project Manager. When we finally discovered we were both musicians and I discovered who he really was.............well I loved that. Just added more subjects to our conversations. Skip is awesome and sometimes we'd just laugh. I missed him right away back then and I still do right this very minute. His trip...

Miss playing with you and Merl and everyone else in San Francisco. You were a great guy, Skip.

Janet and I saw TOP at The City Winery in Nashville last night. I brought the framed picture seen below and shared it with the guys during a meet and greet. Emilio took it to show each member. Then David gave me his email address so I could send it to him electronically. Emilio took a picture of it. I'm the one on the far right. I miss Skip so very much. I hope you're doing well, Nancy.

Dearest Nancy,

It is 2017 and I decided to listen to some Earth, Wind and Fire-which of course, brought you and Skip to my mind. So, looking up Skip's name, I came across his obituary. Thank God we have been taught the accuracy of Jesus Christ coming back-and we will see Skip again. The adversary won this battle, however, we will win the War.

Please accept my condolences, my love and heart towards you and your children. Not only Skip was wonderful, you also. I always...
