Not sure what to say?

Impossible to beleive that it has been 3 years since steve passed. Every time I go in to pick up a pizza I still see steve an randall at that oven turning out the best pizza in the country.

I worked at Tim's Pizza when I was a teenager. Having witnessed the first class commitment they had to serving and knowing their customers, I can tell you that the only thing they were more committed to were their employees. Such a great place to work run by even better people. I'm late to see this saddening news - but I'll always remember Steve (and Tim) and how they inspired me to be better man at such a young age.

Tim’s Pizza is as special a place as I’ve ever experienced...friends, family & everybody knows your name...Steve sure did!

So many memories...Steve greeted us when I was a little leaguer, in high school, college...before and after so many Royals & Chiefs games.

Steve always connected...brought that unique kindness to every interaction!

May he Rest In Peace!

My last conversation with Steve was he gave me a coupon for a free pizza. He thanked me for my service as a police officer. I have been retired for three years. What a gentleman. I will not forget him.

Steve was just an all around great guy! He always had a smile on his face when one walked into Tim’s pizza. He made a difference in this world.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. To lose a sibling is extra hard. Niece Ann ... Del and Bea

Our entire family cherish ALL the great memories we have had over almost their lifetime enjoying the best pizza on plant made by 2 amazing men. Their service before self attitude was like non-other. Steve & Tim know & remember everyone by name & always a funny memory they shared each time. Steve will be missed by many, but for sure by all of our family!

I was so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. Tim my heart goes out to you. Our family came to Tim's every week for years ! When we quit coming so frequently you both still remembered who we were and that Jeff Liked his pizza double cut and on parchment paper. I feel like a member of my own family has passed away so unexpectedly. Please know our prayers are with you as you move along this journey. Blessings to you my friend.

I will miss Steve saying "Hello Jim" when I walk into Tim's. Steve had a unique sense of humor. One of my fondness memories with Steve was going to see Nolan Ryan pitch against the Royals. It was a fun night. We both drank way too many beers.
