My heart is broken you are no longer in my world
My kind and talented brother was a Renaissance
Man. An incredibly gifted artist who painted from early childhood. He loved to write and spend time reading in his library. He also loved to hike and hang off rocks to scare us. He spent his early years after college in Europe as a semi starving artist where his first daughter was born. I will never forget the starving artist apt where his newborn daughter slept in a large dresser drawer. Steve loved his children and was a great father. His message on the answering machine was "This is your Magnificent Brother" and I would always leave my message "Call Your Darling Sister" We all will cherish your amazing memories. All love and condolences to the family

To our dear brother-in-law. Now that you are with our Lord, you're no longer here to share the bond we had shared together a one great and happy family. A bond that you surely love everytime you go here in the Philippines, a bond of love and care. Yet somehow, something tells us you are watching over us especially Estelle and Tes. Your memory will always be here with us. Please hugs my mom for us too. We love you, Steve!
