Dear Lizzie & Marcus: I am so sorry to hear that Steve had died. He was a funny guy, I know you will both miss him. At least he is not in pain anymore and is sure to be having a big time with Rosemary and David! Take care of yourselves. Love, Maggie

I spoke to Steve just a few weeks ago and as usual he was in good spirits. This has happened so fast it's difficult to absorb. Maud and I will miss him and we send our deepest sympathy to Lizzie and Marcus. I hope that he has joined up again with Rosemary; Bob & maud

Hello Lizzie and Marcus,

The Steve Rabinowitz's don't come into this world often. Can only think of him with a smile as his dry sense of humour always made me laugh. Great Dad you had and I'm sure he's left a huge gap in your lives but will always be remembered as the great person he was. Charlie and Martine join me in thinking of you at this time of great loss.

Dear Marcus & Lizzie,

Dad went too early. He had a great heart and was a softie, even if he tried to be gruff. We enjoyed seeing him on his too occasional trips to Switzerland and will miss him. Console yourselves with the thought that he is at peace, no longer in pain, and with Ro.

Much love,

Bill & Clare

Marcus and Lizzie-Steve and I were pals in Nyon in the 70s: what a great guy. I saw him a few years ago in London, and had hoped to see him in the US again. My sympathies and I am sure all the people who enjoyed his company at IOS.

Marcus, Robin and Lizzie,

I am so saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. Bill and I were so very fond of Steve and the kindness and love he gave to us. We will miss him.

Dear Marcus and Lizzie,

I worked at the same company as your father, IOS and though I did not know your Dad personally, I understand he was a wonderful and precious husband and father. It's a great loss to lose someone you love so much, but both of you are so very fortunate to have such a special Dad with whom the Lord blessed you. You will always have wonderful memories of him. My sincere condolences to you both.

Master, If you're moderating this message board, know that you're missed already. Your advice on the playing field will never be forgotten. Also know that Marcus and Robin are going to be fine, I'll be sure to be there and support them both to the best of my ability. I can't say enough how much love those two have for you, and how strong they've been through this entire experience. Marcus continues to make me proud with his unspoken drive to keep 'all things Steve' in check without skipping a beat. I only hope I could do half as good a job as he has if I'm ever confronted with a similar situation. See you around, my friend!!! Evan

Dear Liz and Marcus. I knew about the car accident and that he was unable to attend the IOS reunion last year, but think often about you all. At least I have now E-mail addresses, and will contact you. I have the fondest memories of both Rosemary and Steve, and are sad to think that they left us so early. I have no pictures of Steven to submit. Condoleances and big hugs

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Find comfort knowing that your dad touched many lives in his special way. Steve and I connected instantly and I too will miss him so very much!
