I was shocked and saddened to hear about Steve. I had the utmost respect for him. I did several Landscape Contractors Association [CLCA] meetings with him around the state when he was with LCIS. I also provided a proposal and design for some work at the house and he showed me some of things he had already done that he was proud of. It is much too soon for him to be gone and the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sypathies to the entire family. I knew Steve from our Commercial Union days and always had great times when we had department meetings. Steve and I exchanged regional goodies, I sent him Brats and he sent me wine, I'll always remember that.

Skye and Dawn, My sisters, Cinda, Sheryl and I lived next door to the Bathurst family while growing up. We played hide and seek and went through the "growing up" years, and Steve is a major part of our memories. We will miss him dearly. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Linda Griego

Skye and Dawn - Skye, I had the pleasure of meeting you many years ago, at the time that you were racing soap box cars. Your dad was so proud of you. I played softball with your dad, in both the insurance league and co-ed league and we had a blast! My sincere sympathy goes out to both of you.
