It has been a month now since you passed. Steve, I miss you. I miss the things we were going to do together. Golf, maybe take a cruise, reminisce about being kids together. I might even have tried fishing. I'm sorry you had to leave us and pray that we'll get together again.

I worked with Steve at allied and when I worked at Frankie's firehouse restaurant I was always happy to see his smiling face. He was such a caring wonderful man and will be missed. My condolences to the family. Even though he is gone he is forever in our hearts.

So heartbroken to learn this news. Tuney - my father's nickname for him - is like a permanent fixture in my childhood memories. Countless softball games at Brainerd Park, Weekend stop bys at my house, Wrestlemania events, Super Bowl parties, Cape Cod, some of my first babysitting jobs for Michael and Sarah. I ran into him not so long ago at Chicago Sam's and my friends raised their eyebrows when I hugged him. We were so happy to see each other. He proudly explained to them that my sister and I were the flowergirls in his wedding! Terry, Michael, and Sarah - my deepest condolences. I'll always remember this sweet man!

Always a barrel of laughs and a smile for everyone he met. Uncle Steve was the kind of uncle that wouldn't just let you play, he'd play with you. I grew up spending holidays with the whole martin family, and I have some great memories. I'll miss you Uncle Steve, but I know youre with boppie, pop, and Uncle Sean now. Thanks for always keeping the door open, I'll miss you.
