It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years since Steve passed away. I miss my calls with my buddy and think of him often.

Dear Linda and Brian so sorry to read of your father's passing. AS neighbors in Lincolshire and many other functions within our community we always had a wonderful relationship with your family. He was always a gentleman. Nancy & Gary Beren.

Linda and Brian your Dad was my best friend for 42 years. Your Dad is gone but will never leave my heart nor yours. I know that you and your Mother know how I feel and always will. He is not gone but just waiting for all of us when God decides it is our time to pay a visit at Steve's new home in Heaven. If Steve is not too busy of course. God Bless You!

I am very sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I attended both Fulton Elementary School and Devilbiss High School with him. I can say he was a very nice guy. Didn't know him as an adult.

I have been thinking back on a friendship of over 40yrs since Brian & Linda's call. There is not enough room here to share the great memories with a terrific guy. Steve was there through weddings, birth of children, and funerals. Thinking about our fun times brings a smile to my face every day! There will always be a place for Steve in the hearts of the Rozek's.

Let God guide you during this trying time.

Linda, I remember you in a class during my first quarter at Ohio State so long ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God's love help you thru it.
