It's very rare to see such a family as yours, headed by an amazing man as your dad. I had the privliege of sharing some of my most precious memories with all of you, my first Runza, Megan turning 21, my first real snowfall at my first Husker game amoung many others. He will always be the Lumberjack man. I love you all dearly, you are all in my heart and prayers.

My best memory of Steve is working together with him at Havelock Shops, and although I haven't seen Steve in quite a while I remember him well. I wanted to say he was one of the best people I have ever been able to work with and I think your loss is a loss for many. Please accept our condolences at this time and if you would ever care to talk feel free to contact me.

Dear Ruth & all your family: We have no appropriate words which can express our deep feelings & thoughts to all of you (and both sets of parents.) Our lives became entwined over 35 years ago, and yet it seems like yesterday. Our prayers are with you and for you, asking the Lord to help you all through this sad & sorrowful time.

Ruth and all the family - my heart is so very heavy with the idea that this world has lost Steve....his smile, his charm.....
Growing up along side Ruth and Steve through our church has wonderful memories - (I looked to Steve like an older brother I didn't have) - memories like the first time I ever got seriously grounded after tagging along with Steve to some friends for the evening and getting home just a while later than should have........
May you all know he is in the ever loving presence of the Lord, smiling that big smile of his down upon us.....
God Bless you all through our memories and prayers.....Bill "Billy" Snesrud
