Robin, David and Leah. I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved husband and father. I was just told today of Steven´s passing. He was a wonderful man who loved all of you so much and he told me that often while I was cutting his hair.
I enjoyed his quiet sense of humor.
This is such a difficult time for all of you and I hope that you will find peace in knowing that he´s resting now.

So sorry for your loss. Steve was a fellow alumnus from NHS class of `64 and a friend. He will be missed and the world is a little bit emptier without him.
