Sebestyen Family, I am sending this on behalf of my mother and myself. My mother is Florence Goulet and we just heard about Steve from Winnie. We want to send our sympathy to your family. I also want to add how sad I was to learn of Jon's death. He was one of my first boyfriends and he was so nice. We are so sorry for your losses. Take Care Renee Goulet Kozlowski and Florence Goulet.

Sebestyen Family,



We are sorry to learn of Steve's passing. It is with much sympathy that we express our sentiment to your family for your lose.



Steve will always be a great man in my eyes. The skill, experience and knowledge of training English springer spaniels that I learned from Steve has been invaluable to me in my life. For the past thirty years I have had springers from Dansmirth's because of Steve. I have now passed the lessons learned from Steve to my children. I write for Spaniels in the Field magazine and have mentioned Steve in several articles now. I hope it is OK, I requested that this notice and the link to this guest book be posted on the SITF website so that his many friends in the spaniel field trial world could remember him.



From the Winston Family, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
