Steve Kogan will be remembered as such a positive energy force. Steve was sincere and compassionate, always willing to give without getting back. No thoughts or words can replace the loss of Steve Kogan. His void on this Earth will never be replaced. Steve will always be remembered as a loyal boss and friend. Steve Kogan along with Mr. Abe Kogan, and Harvey Kogan ( The Builders Group ) were absolutely the best corporation ever to be employed by, and i will always be grateful for the opportunity to be associated with Steve and the entire Kogan family

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Susan, Matt and Robert. Steve was such a fun loving and genuinely nice guy! Fond memories of him through the years! What comes immediately to mind is one Fourth of July fun with captain Jim and a bunch of us Kildeer friends, cruising along Lake Michigan's shoreline. Steve, we will miss your smile and big heart!

Dear Abe,
I will never forget the kindness you showed me when my Father, Seymour passed away. The good advice you gave me after that helped me immensely and got me off to a great start.
I sincerely wish to extend my condolences to you and your family on the un-timely passing of your Son.
