Student of Steve at Northwestern and worked at Foster Medical with him, the world a little empty without his humor, laugh and thoughtfulness.

We are saddened to learn of your family's great loss. Mrs. Dimas, you always came to ACT prep sessions well prepared and ready to give your all. How difficult this must have been with your husband's illness on your mind. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Nathan, Samuel and Tovah Raymond,(all ACT prep students).

Carol,
Jonathan and I were extremely saddened to learn of your immense loss. While we did not have the fortune of meeting Steve, we were able to sense his deep love for you and your family through your stories, such as going to Disney last summer. It has been a privilege to read about him through others' postings.
We have been amazed at the strength you have showed over the past few years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your children and grandchildren in this unbelievably difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I hope this verse proivdes comfort.
We are standing on the seashore.
A ship at our side spreads its' white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength.
We stand and watch her until at length she appears to hang like a speck of white cloud where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at our side says: "There, she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from our sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left on her way to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in us, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at our side says: "There, she is gone."
There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
"Here she comes!"
With love,
Michelle Dolan

As a very good baseball catcher/hitter and hockey player nicknamed "Rock" with a statue-worthy physique and better-than-matinee idol good looks, punctuated with that omnipresent warm, beaming smile, perhaps Steve's most outstanding quality was his unexpectedly gentle, always good-hearted and very friendly manner. What a combination! He was truly one of a kind. Carol and your dear family, you have my deepest condolences.
June 29, 2012
Dear Sam, Martha and Family,one of the greatest injustices in life is for a parent to have to bury one of their children. I read some of the wonderful things people were saying about Steven on line and it just verified something that I learned over a half a century ago when we were altar boys at St. Nicholas' Church and that is that Steven Dimas was a kind and gentle person. Our world has definitely suffered a great loss. We offer our deepest condolences. Tom Treslo and Family.

Dear Carol and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. Although I hadn't seen him in a very long time, I'll always remember him being such a wonderful, kind person with a great smile.

Dear Carol and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I worked at Northwestern many years ago and typed the manuscripts for some of the books they published. It's been many years but one can never forget his smile. My prayers to you and your family.
June 28, 2012
Dear Carol,
Do you remember as far back as Bloomingdale quad homes and friends who drove to Jefferson School together? Do you remember Steve selling a black Ford named Moon to a neighbor and pal? I do! I remember Steve's smile and dreams and how he put up a screen door on the babies' room so the cats could stay part of your family. I remember love of you. Know that his spirit will always be with you and that you will always be loved.

Dear Carol& Family, We just wanted to say how sorry we are for your loss. Steve was an amazing person, so brave in his battle. His willingness to keep fighting was, I'm sure, directly related to how much he loved his family. That was obvious to all who knew him. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I was sad to hear of Steve's death. I remember him growing up in Lincolnwood. The two things that stick out in my mind were Steve standing over all of us and his wonderful smile. A smile that made everyone's life a bit more comforting.
My sincere condolences to you.

To Carol and the Dimas Family:
I am so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. He was truly a great man. His gentle way yet persuant determination inspired all of us to do better. Fondest memories arise from my days at Stat Home Care. Everyone truly respected Steve and worked hard to make us successful. And we were! I have but one question...where is his hallmark mustache?
My sincere condolences,

Carol & family,
Steve was truly a remarkable man! The smile on his face said it all, he was always so positive and caring. He made this world a better place and the people around him felt the love he had for you and your family.
May God hold all of you in His arms and comfort you.
With love & prayers,

To Carol and the Dimas Family,
We have lost a most incredible person in Steve. I worked with him for most of my time at NMH and his wisdom and kindness far surpassed his years. He always seemed to know what to do. After I left NMH I missed the daily interactions I'd had with him, but he was always with me as I learned from him the ability to be more patient and see through things to their essence.
I'm also sorry that I hadn't kept in touch all these many years but I hope the memories and recollections here and elsewhere bring you comfort during this sad time.
He was truly one of a kind and we will all miss him very much.

I was deeply saddened to receive news of Steve's passing. He was a Prince among Men and I looked forward to seeing him at board meetings and other events. Despite his monumental struggles, he never gave his problems a second thought, only wisdom to help or ease the pain and suffering of others.
He will be missed. My condolences to Carol, his children, parents and siblings.

To Carol and the Dimas Family,
I was truly blessed to have Steve as a business partner and a dear friend. When I think about my happiest "career days" it was at Stat Home Care with Steve. He touched so many lives in so many positive ways. He was an extraordinary man and Dan and I will miss him terribly.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time.

To Carol and all of the Dimas family,
I can honestly say that I have nothing but fond memories of Steve, from early childhood through today, one of the few in my life for whom that is true. He was an incredibly compassionate, positive, and endearing man, and he will be dearly missed. I wish you the very best in this difficult and saddening time.
June 24, 2012
To the Dimas family; I was very saddened
to hear of Steven's passing. He has been
on my prayer list every day for years!
May he pray for us now as I know he's in
paradise. I also pray for Shirley every
day. God bless you. Billy Treslo and
family. Colorado Springs, Colorado.
