Dear Aunt Peggy Ann, Cousins Vince, Stephen, Margaret, Jerry, and Jimmy, and Cousins-in-law Gail, Eileen, and Michael,

We were so very sad to hear of Uncle Steve's death. I know how little words written in a note can mean to you at such a time, but I still want to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I could be with you at this time.

With deepest sympathy,
Carolynn & Joel,

Dear Aunt Peg,
I was so sorry to hear Uncle Steve passed. We sure loved visiting with him up at Lake and will miss him dearly. We always had a super time and he always made us feel very welcome. I will never forget the interest he had in me during my high school running days and him cheering me on at Sectionals. And I will always have fond memories of his deep laugh and golf lessons at 11pm up at the Lake in the dark :-). God Bless him, you and the rest of the family. With love, J.R.

To Stirling family,

Steve has been my landlord and customer/supplier over the years. We had many an enjoyable hour talking about the chemical industry and life in general. We could laugh at ourselves when our plans sometimes didn't come to fruition. At the end of the day Steve and I both made money but most important,
we made each other laugh. "Jimity Crickets" I'll miss you Steve.
