We worked together at AstraZeneca and I always enjoyed his tales from the Navy and of the sea. I always felt he should have been on a boat somewhere and not land locked so now his soul is free. So glad he was able to provide comfort to others even as he suffered himself. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolensces to the family.

Dear family,
Steve was very impressive in our Multiple Myeloma support group, very gentle, dignified, heroic.
I am so sorry he has gone so soon on to his eternal home. May he find much well deserved comfort there.
May you find peace in your memories with Steve, and in the love and affection surrounding you. He would surely want you showered with tlc.
Take good care,
God bless you and heal you,

So sorry to hear about your loss. I worked at the site starting in 1976 and knew Steve. He was a very friendly guy and well liked. May God be with you and the family.

Debbie, we were so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was such a great guy and you were a wonderful support to him. Just wish we could have known Steve better, since we are new to the MM group. God bless you and your whole family.
