Always smiling and willing to share a joke, always a friend and willing to extend a helping hand. Steve will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest sympathies to his family for the loss of this irreplaceable man.

Part of the "Riverside Gang" is now gone. The starting line-up of Carlson, Robbins, Strickland, Narramore, and Zamsky did some damage on the basketball courts of the Klamath Falls Schools as I remember. Hope we may meet in eternity and do it again my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Steve as a very bright, kind and somewhat mischievous classmate. It was nice to see him at our class reunion last summer and say hello. God bless you all.

Dear Steve: I, as well as your high school classmates, missed you at last year's high school reunion. We wanted to see you and talk with you. We won't have that chance anymore, but you will always be missed and loved by those who knew you. We will meet up with you one of these days. Perhaps then we will have our talk. My and our condolences to your family. May you rest in peace!
