We grew up across the street from the Kirschners and they were friends for many years. Sorry about Steve's passing.

My condolences go out to the friends and family of Steve.

I met Steve when he was an auditor at National Bank of Commerce in the late 60's and kept in contact with him through the closure of Security Pacific Bank. He was one of the "good guys". I will always remember his quiet giggle and easy smile.

RIP Steve

Steve was the big brother I never had. We first met when I was fourteen and he'd just started going out with Vikki. I knew right then that Steve could guide me in ways that I knew I needed, he just seemed to care about everything and everyone.
I had no idea how much Steve meant to me until I heard of his passing. He had the gift of being able to make whoever he was talking to feel like they were the only person in the room.
Farewell my friend....

When I heard Steve had passed away I reflected back over the years. I met Steve forty years ago last week when he financed a new car for me to bring our newborn girl home. Steve was my banker, confidant and friend and became the banker and friend for the whole family. We enjoyed many fishing trips in Alaska, caught lots of fish and he would laugh each time he caught one. Our love and condolences to Vicki, Shelley, Paul and the entire Kirschner family.

My condolences to Steve's family. I played many rounds of golf with him when he still lived in Wa. He was one of our regular players every Saturday morning. I will miss him. Her was a great person. RIP my friend.

Several years ago, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and other chronic, life- threatening conditions. Steve expressed his concern so sincerely and noted we would always be in his daily prayers. He contacted me several times in the years since we have left Sun Lakes, always concerned with my wife. He will be missed but never forgotten. Prayers of comfort being sent for you all.

I had wrote a poem for Steve once, I use to call him the old gray ghost and his love for the game of golf. He was a wonderful friend. Rest peacefully my friend.

Your smile lit up the room. Your laugh was contagious. You were always so thoughtful and kind to your little brother, Rick. You will be so dearly missed. Rest peacefully, Steve
