Dear Mrs. Zeluff and children,
I worked with Steve for 5 years, me being a school nurse, and him coming to the Clarke Annex, always with a smile when my computer crashed. He loved all of you so much and always spoke about you. He was the most compassionate, caring, loving, funny, and kind man I've ever known. I am truly sorry and he will be missed-

Dear Rachelle,
I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve during some buddy ball baseball games when Mark and Antonio were on the red team together some years ago. Steve was a kind man and a good father. I was truly shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Steve's passing. I think of you and your children and pray you are surrounded by family to share in your mourning. I pray that happy memories comfort you and that you have the strength to get through this most difficult time. My condolences to you and your family.

I have many memories of Steve, here at Princeton Ave. Lakewood Board of Ed, but the most vivid is his smile and how he would always help us with our computer problems without a complaint. Of course, bribing him with food always helped. My prayers are with you.
