Linda, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, he sounds like a wonderful man and so young (same age as my hubby). I am sorry I missed the calling hours but you have been in my thoughts and prayers since Cindi told me yesterday. Peace to you and your family! Joanne

ALTHOUGH I WASN'T A REGULAR ATTENDEE OF THE CLASS, STEVE
WOULD ALWAYS SAY "HI KATHY".

It was with sadness that I learned of the passing of Stephen. I had the pleasant opportunity to meet and exercise with him at the North Canton YMCA in October, 2012. Stephen was a classmate of my mother-in-law, Louise Krivoski. While attending the 'physically challenged' classes with Louise, I met Stephen. I was so impressed with his gentle, friendly, and positive manner. He warmly welcomed me into the class and we had several discussions about his years coaching baseball which I thoroughly enjoyed. I could see that Stephen was a man of integrity and optimism. I am sure that he will be missed, and equally sure that during his life he had a profound influence upon those fortunate enough to have known him.
Thank you for sharing Stephen with us.
Yours, Bill Smith
