I went to high school with Steve and we shared many classes together. I am not suprised about all the wonderful things that are said about what a great person he was. Even though we all move on this proves that one person can touch someone's life for just a little while and when you think back, you have to smile.
To lose someone at such a young age is a tragedy and I'm so sorry for the pain that is has caused your family. Hope you and your son find comfort in the people around you and know that God has his hand now and you will always have a piece of his heart.

Steve, was a fantastic engineer and planner. He was rivaled by few, and he blessed many with his insights and abilities. We always enjoyed working with him, as he was ALWAYS someone you could trust and count on.

I am very sorry for your loss. I feel the world stopped with the news of Steve's passing for those that knew him. Steve and I went to school and played on the same ball team together for many years. As a group of guys we sure had a lot of fun on and off the field. Steve will always be remembered.

Fusting Family,
I consider Steve to be one of my friends. Have known him & worked with him all my life and have had some great laughs & times. One of the best Electricians of IBEW Local 369. He will be missed by many.

Fusting Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Steve for over 40 years. We may not have been close friends but were were friends and I am proud of that. To say Steve was good electrician does not say nearly enough. Steve was a true Craftsman in his field. We worked many a project together and I know when I am in a tough spot, I will think of him, becuase he was always there to help resolve an issue. All of us who worked with him or just knew him as a friend will feel his loss for a long time.
My Prayers are with you.
