My heartfelt sympathy to Steve's family. I worked with Steve at MultiMate and he was a great guy. Funny. Athletic. A rock. I saw him last March and it was great seeing him again. He will be missed by all.

Dearest Donna ,

I can't tell you how sorry I am that you have lost the love of your life. One thing I do know is how hard it will be but I also know how strong you are especially when the going gets tough.

If you ever need me to do anything for you or the boys please call me. I really mean this.

Lots of love to you in this time of terrible loss

Dear Donna, Jonathan and David,

The last email I received from Steve included pictures of your vacation in Alaska. He wrote a whole page to me about the wonderful time you all had and he sounded so happy. He was very proud of the boys and dedicated to his coaching. And so grateful for and loved Donna, who was so supportive and caring after his horrific accident. Steve was a great friend to me during my years at Loctite in Connecticut, and even though our messages were few over the last years, I will miss his warm friendship. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
