Steven E. Scranton

At night, I stand at the cusp of something beautiful and new. My breath inhales the crisp cool air that supports the dancing fireflies that signal for a mate. I kneel down, pet my furry companion and glance far into the heavens and their fireflies that surround a full silver moon just waking up yawning and smiling. I've never paid attention to these beautiful things and took them for granted. This small and wonderful moment would not have been made possible were it not for the caring of Dr....

Kathy, thinking of you on this anniversary date that we all wish we didn't have to do but Steve is still in our memories in such a positive love.

The years that are passing without Steve, still leaves a pang of pain in our lives and our love for Kathy and the rest of his family. Steve was a friend who will never be forgotten.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Love and miss you Kathy. Take care!

Its been almost two years since Steve's passing and I still am in a state of shock. I am with the passing of all my fellow classmates of "71". I admired Steve's keen intellect and "presence", he was always confident, intelligent and mature beyond his years. I lost track of him after graduation, but occasionally heard that he was doing what he always wanted to do, ie practice medicine. May you rest in peace and to your family, please know that so many of us admired him for all he did.

My life had been destroyed by the claws of addiction from which there was no escape. Nearing the end I was being suffocated by this invisible entity that coiled my soul. Evertime I tried to breathe, I couldn't. And when I exhaled it only wound itself tighter. This is where I met Dr. Scranton who became my solace in the midst of this chaotic and pathetic lifestyle. He taught me that I was not alone and that he cared about me and that life was worth living. He turned my rage as well as the deep...

I am glad I had the privilege of working with Dr. Scranton in the O.R. at Spectrum Health from 1989 to 2005. I have great memories to look back on, and I know everyone who knew him will have them too. I am deeply saddened and heartbroken at this news. Kathy and family, my thoughts are with you and my prayers for comfort and peace in the days ahead.

I worked with Steve for years,rest in peace my friend. My sympathies to his family.Linda uzarski

Steve and I roomed together for a time in 2001. We had many inspirational, intimate, and profound discussions then and again during a renewal of our friendship a dozen years later. It's terribly sad to learn of his death. He shared the
warmth of his deeply sensitive soul generously and bore his crosses with dignity and courage. Rest In Peace, my friend.
