Steve was a good friend at the Salvation Army Core. He was a very friendly person and enjoyed having fun no matter where he was. We both went to church there. I haven't seen Steve for quite a long time.
He will always be remembered and missed by me and my family and all of his friends.
We will all see you someday up there in Heaven Steve.

I knew Steve many years ago while working at Donnelleys. I was very often assigned to his work line (Line 4) and he was, day in and day out, a dedicated worker who helped make the work hours pass quickly with his humor and energy. I regret he has passed away such at a a young age. I had always hoped our paths would cross again after I retired from Donnelley's, but, they never did. How sad for all Steve's friends and family to have to say farewell.

Steve was an inspiration to all the youth that were at the corps when he and Betty were in charge of singing company. He was the comedy relieve when Betty became to serious, they both were used by God. I rejoice in having Steve be that inspiration during my youth. Thank you God and THANK YOU Steve!

Steve and I had classes together in high school. I helped him in painting class and he would share cookies with me that he had baked in home ec. I remember him as a gentle, generous, and compassionate person, and am sad to learn that his life has ended at such a young age. My condolences to those he leaves behind.

We were saddened to learn of Steve's promotion to Glory, but happy for him! It's hard to believe he's gone. Know that our love and prayers go out to his family. Steve was very important to and loved by the Breezes. I imagine Mom and Dad were at Heaven's gate to welcome him in. God bless you in your sorrow.

To Steve's family,

Steve and I were classmates from elementary through high school. He was a friend and such a kind gentleman. He always had a smile to give to those that didn't have one. He will truly be missed.

May the peace that passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
