Not sure what to say?

To this day, I frequently think of Steven's contributions to community, and to the engineering profession. His structural innovations often come to mind in my work. Frank Jesse, AIA

My dear cousin, Steven, you’re always near to all of us who love you so. You’re in our thoughts and very missed more than you’ll ever know. Remembering is a form of meeting, and that’s true every day. We feel your gentle presence and miss your loving ways. Susan Pavlock

Steve was a very fine customer of mine. One of the nicest and easy going persons I have ever had the honor to do business with. So sorry to hear just today of his passing... Best wishes to Lu and family.

I want to offer my condolences. I was fortunate to serve with Steve on the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) Executive Committee in 2011. He was a very bright and dedicated engineer. I am saddened by the news of this death.

Lu...I am just so sorry to hear about Steve. There are no helpful words for this, only thoughts of just how sad it must be for you and the children. You are all in my prayers. Melissa, Kyra and xiao.

We are very sorry to read about Steve's passing.
My twin sister and I were often at the Tipping house in Salamanca. We were childhood friends with Steve's younger sister Barbara. Of course being the younger ones, we thought Steve was such a kind, handsome, very talented older brother.
We (Bill and I) are very happy to read of Steve's success and beautiful family.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time....

I am so saddened to hear the news of Steve's passing. For the brief time we were neighbors, I am very greatful to both Steve and Lu for always being a warm and welcoming presence, and sharing kind words, smiles, and conversation. I send my condolences and prayers to your family. He is a wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

May the Lord raise you Steve, to his Kingdom of Glory for your Eternal Life will begin. Sending all our Love and Aloha to you Lulu, and your Beautiful Family.

Heartfelt condolences and prayers to Lu and family. The number of people at the vigil is testimony to how people feel about Steven and Lu. It is obvious that many respected and admired Steven. May the family and friends know that my caring thoughts will be with them.
