David and Donald and to the rest of the Spretz family. Growing up about 3 blocks from you all. I remember Steven . Although he was more my brothers age. Over the years i would see Steven in other parts of town. He would always speak and find the time to talk about G P sports and other topics. He was an asset to the community, a nice man and a good father. May peace be with you and yours at this time of need

To Carol and the Family. It was such disheartning news the lose of a very good friend. Mine and Debbies prayers go out to each of you. I will always cherish our time together at work and especially on the golf course. Heck I never could beat that man. We had so many laughs and special talks of life and family that will never be forgot. Steve always spoke of the importance of family. Steve was a great man he will be greatly missed.

Steve, I'll miss you so much, we always had time for each other. I'll miss that call on our Birthday that we both shared together, but told Carol I would keep that going. All the times we played on 14 street in GP it was just like yesterday I'll will miss you.

Steve was a dear cousin to my husband and always treated me with the utmost respect. It was always very apparent how much he cared for his family and what a sensitive man he was. I know he will be greatly missed by all. Our hearts and prayers go out to his entire family.

Steve was one of my best friends and like a brother to me. I could always confide in him when we were playing golf. We had many great talks and times together. I will miss him greatly and look forward to meeting him one day on the tee box at the first hole in heaven.
