Steven Lee Kaufman

Dear Amy,
I didn't know your husband, but knowing
you, I'm sure he was wonderful and
you will miss him terribly. Take care
of yourself in this difficult time.
Come back to see us soon. Cynthia Steinke former Library Board member.

Steve was my friend and even though we didn't see each other, he was never far from my heart. The world needs more people like Steve

Steve taught me how to be human. It was the way he constantly found love and gave love in everything he did. One of my closest friends in the world. I feel the ache and sadness, but the joy he left stays too. Know that I am always there for you, the family remaining.

love,

Lloyd (Zimmerman)

Dear Amy and family

Dave V. and the Board of CWFBPL

I remember Steve at U High in the thespians...he was a very cool guy....anonymous

Steve hired me for my first journalism job. He was kind and gentle soul who trusted this young buck to be a Skyway News editor. I have since been in the industry for more than 25 years and for he the past 20 have been a publisher. But I'll never forget the man who gave me my start...

Dear Amy and Family,

A colleague of mine at Berklee College of Music, Steve was a kind, sensitive, engaging, and challenging teacher. He will be missed by his many students and colleagues, whose lives he touched in many ways. My deep condolences to you all.

What a nice guy. He played sax with me for a while in a jazz combo. I'm glad he was able to pursue music at Berklee.

Steve was a lovely man who had a big impact on me as a student at MCC. I enjoyed his classes and his company and his encouragement so very much. Deepest condolences to the family, and especially my friend Hallie.

A truly wonderful person. Ryan/Kaufman family, I am sorry for your loss.

Ryan/ Kaufman Family- I am so sorry about your loss. I have very fond memories of Steve- he was a wonderful man. My heart goes out to all of you.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Steve was a real mensch, and a great colleague at MCTC. I fondly remember going to the Dakota with him to see live jazz.

Amy,Maddie,Chloe,Noah, and Hallie,
I am thinking about all of you at this very sad time.
Steve was an extraordinary man and will always be in our hearts.

My prayers are with you all in the loss of your father, grandfather and husband Steven. . . I loved working with him as my fellow columnist and then later my editor in the "OLD DAYS" at Skyway News - when he took over the paper for his father Sam. .. Great memories for us all here in the downtown community.

My sympathies to the family. I will always remember Steve taking us kids, Hallie, Noah and friends, to a movie or bowling when we were growing up in Minneapolis.

Our sympathies to the whole family. Connie and Larry Catlett, Las Vegas

Steve will be greatly missed. My consolences to his family.
