Steve was the kindest, least judgemental man I ever knew.
Steve never said a harsh word about anyone. I miss so very much this charming, funny, knowledgeable & forgiving soul.
I always looked up to him as someone I wish I could be more like. I will you forever My Friend.

There was no more lovable man than our Steve, the vacuum that his loss has created, though impossible to fill, will be lessened by those of us who remain, cherishing every memory of Steve & the joy that he brought us.

What a lovely, lovely man who has left us too soon. May Steven be reliving all his wonderful memories as you reflect on your own. Blessings are sunrises you haven't noticed in a while and the sky filled with stars on a clear night. They may be fleeting now, but soon your heart will be full of blessings again. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Love, Marla

Mary,
My most sincere condolences to you and to Dink for your loss.
Although I have never met Steve, from what you've told me I'm sure we have several mutual friends in the Delaware area.
Grieve for so long as you need; keeping in mind that Steve now rests in the srms of God.
