Jennifer, Eleanor, Bridgett and Family,
With surprise and sorrow to learn about Steve, he was a wonderful husband, father, and a friend to many. He will always be a role model to those he touched being humble, and kind. God will take care of Steve as he had taken so much care for others.

Dear Jennifer, Eleanor and Bridget,
I had the good fortune of working with Steve in Guildford in the early '90's when I first started work. In late 90's I shared enjoyable times with Steve on the football fields of the Chicago suburbs. Steve was always a real joy to know and a pleasure to spend time with, and someone I admired greatly. Of all people, I'm sure you need no reminding of what a lovely, kind and considerate person Steve was. But I hope it brings you some comfort at this sad time to know that others instinctively recognised these qualities in Steve, held him dear and considered him a good friend and confidant. He will be missed greatly but he will retain a place in so many of our hearts.
With deepest condolences

Sorry for the loss of your love one, may you find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.

Dear Jennifer,
I am saddened to hear of your tremendous loss. I met Steve only once or twice, but even those brief encounters revealed his warmth. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts during this time of mourning. May God give you the strength to continue living life fully as Steve would want, honoring his memory.
With Deepest Condolences,

I enjoyed working with Steve during our time together at Merichem. Steve was a kind, intuitive and caring individual who was always willing to work with others to help make them better. I feel blessed to have known Steve. God bless my friend.

Dear Jennifer,
I am very much saddened by Steve's passing. We worked together at Riverside when we started at UOP. We also worked and travel together in Indonesia extensively on the road. He taught me how to speak "the important" Italian I should know at the time which is still useful today. His parents also lived in Des Plaines near UOP like me that Steve's family is a true UOP family. My condolences to you and the family. I will miss Steve a lot.

So sad to know of Steve's passing. I hope he is at peace and that comfort will come day by day to his family. I really enjoyed talking with Steve and knowing him a bit over the years of his and Jen's life together. He was a good man. Rest in peace.

My condolences go out to Steven's family and friends. May you find comfort at Isaiah 51:12 to know that God is the "One comforting you". By prayer he will give you strength and comfort you in this difficult time.

I knew Steve in the first several years he worked at UOP at our Riverside facility. He was all of those things written about him, even back then. I have not seen Steve in the intervening years but he was a memorable part of my early time at UOP and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
February 20, 2019
May your heart and mind find peace and comfort.
