Not sure what to say?

Ken and I want to again extend our condolences. We will miss him, especially in the summer at Gilbert Lake. We were so fortunate to get to share and enjoy his last boat ride on the lake in July this year and share the Waupaca,Wisconsin fireworks with him in our driveway. Who could know it would be his last. Summers up here will never be the same without Steve. It was good to hear of the numbers who attended his services, I'm sure he was smiling at everyone. At sometime in all of our...

To his family:
We will miss him forever. It still doesn't seem possible that he is gone from us. He kept our famly's homes running, and we will be lost without his help, but it is his friendship that was most precious. Our sympathy to all of you.

I'm sorry I was unable to attend Steve's wake and funeral because I was out-of-town at the time. I’ve known Steve over 20 years and I thought about him often as I traveled - his great personality, his big hugs, his laughter, his goofy jokes and e-mails, and his patient understanding when I talked to him about problems over the years. He knew when to help me lighten up and when to be serious as we talked on and on. I also watched this gentle man and skillful worker keep an eye on our...

To the family,
I was heartbroken to learn of Steve's illness and death. I knew Steve since gradeschool, growing up together in Niles. We were very good friends through high school, and then lost touch. What a wonderful human being! He was gentle, generous, kind, and full of life. As a Hospice bereavement counselor, I know what an awful disease pancreatic cancer is, and lost another old friend to the same disease five years ago. Please know what an impact Steve had on my life,...

Dear Steve,
With all of my heart and sole, I am saying again Ilove you... not only for our love between a brother and sister,Iam saying I love you for the man that you are to me... Ithank you for always being there through my good but as we know alot of bad times.. you always had been my strenghth when I could not find it...your words of wisdom maybe you didn't think I was listening but I took in every word you spoke.I grew up because of your words and wisdom.

I'm sorry that I could not attend the Wake or Funeral, because I now live in Green Valley AZ. I have many good memories of Steve, all of them good, most of them from snowmobile club meetings and club trips, in which he kept us loose and laughing with his many pranks, stories, and jokes. I believe the only reason Steve is not with us today,is because God needed another bright star in heaven. My deepest sympathy to Steve's entire family and friends, he will be missed by everyone who knew...

To the Paxson Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We have known Steve for over 10 years and his ability to see the humor in everything is something that we always admired. He was a geat guy and told interesting stories with the best of them. We will miss him greatly and we hope you can find peace in the fact that Steve has just moved on to the next phase of his life, where he will continue spending his time do what he enjoyed the most -...

Steve's Mom, Gloria, introduced me to him one day at Sony in Niles. He was going to do some work on the facility. He and I hit it off immediately, both of us being technos, and we started talking computers and home automation. Through the years I had many opportunities to converse with him on diverse subjects at the Sony Niles facility. I really felt as if he and I were "singing off the same song sheet," and truly enjoyed our friendship. He was a great guy, and the world is a lonelier place...

Steve and I would have our "bro" time on our boat. Just Steve and I a lot of the times, especially boat launch day and boat put away days. By the way, if you ever wanted to predict rain or violent weather, just ask us what day were doing these events. Steve was my captain and first mate, never afraid, always optimistic, weather or high waves be damned. On one of our days when we got serious, I asked him how he knew so much about so many things. His answer was typical Steve and straight...
