June 20, 2013 - June 20, 2024
Much has changed but you are still remembered.

She kept me going during your illness. Through the long nights she was there for me with a gentle touch and comforting purrs. You didn't want to keep her, remember. You told me to give her away. How wrong you were. Because of her I was there through to your end. Now, if such exists, find her and tell her thank you for she so richly deserves your thanks.

Hello Steve,
There will be no more messages from Betty. She joined you last December. She was always your champion through even the darkest of deeds. Her love for her brother-in-law never wavered. You were lucky to have her in your life.

Still miss you, my dear brother.
Betty

Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Alphatronics Security was Steve's life and as dear to him as any family member. He truly felt close to his employees and it is heartwarming to know that many employees felt the same way about him.
Janis Oles

I worked at Alphatronic Security. Steve was a wonderful boss. Very kind and caring. Not many like him. There were just the 5 of us; Steve, myself, Jerry, Ken and Nancy. We were all very close. Great atmosphere to work in. He is missed.

Miss you Steve,
me

Remembering, with love, Mr. Duck.

Brenna pass on Valentine's Day. Please find her and help her on her way.

Remembering you and the cat pins. When I wear one I think of you.

If new years count in your realm, I hope yours is a good one.

Tomorrow seven years ago was the beginning of the end. I hope the end finds you with those who loved you many years ago, especially your maternal grandparents. From your stories of them, they truly loved and understood you.
The bench is in place and your name is on it.

Please help Pop cross. You both prized your military service and loved your stories. November 20th is remembered.

If it is to be, please watch out for Pop and help him across.

Love you, Mr. Duck

Remembering you, Mr. Duck.

Seven years ago today the roller coaster started. Ironic how you always hated roller coasters.
Remembering.

Thinking of you on your Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Steve
To have to remember is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

We always thought we would make it to at least our twentieth but that was not to be.
However, through good times and bad we did honor our vow..."until death do us part".

Remembering you, with love Steve.

Remembered x 5

Still my brother from another mother.

You were remembered at Thanksgiving.

I missed you on Saturday. I think of you often, dearest duck.

Happy Birthday to us!

With love

Four years passed
You are remembered

No more cat pins on Valentine's Day

Love you, Mr. Duck.

Some memories of you are fading but the good ones now stand in relief and that is what is important.
Dave W. says thanks for you gift.

Miss you and love you too, our Donald Duck!

Four years ago there was such a rush to finish the packing and make sure the closing would take place. Your routine blood tests were three months overdue so a quick visit to the lab and off we went. What shocking news the next day that you had leukemia. The day after that came the biopsy and the closing; that night the mad dash with the rented U-Haul van and then to the hospital; it was Thanksgiving eve. How I wish we could have had the Thanksgiving we planned in CT with the kids. They always loved your "Donald Duck" and made a fuss over you. We remember you at each Thanksgiving dinner. Where you are I hope you have something to be grateful for.

Miss you and love you, Steve.

The third year has now passed. You were remembered throughout the day; ups and downs, highs and lows, good times and bad times. You were not forgotten.

Hello Steve,
Four Christmases have come and gone. As we always do, you remembered as we sat down to Christmas dinner. We all toasted you and Paul. The kids reminisced about your "Donald Duck". Maybe send a sign in 2016.

Happy Birthday, dear Steve. Miss you. Love You,
B.

Happy Birthday Steve. We remembered you at LobsterFest.

The perspective of time buys you the greatest truth.

You are remembered

Three months have passed since Paul died. You two seemed to hit it off at family events. You both possessed so many of the same traits. Hope you are together again.

Hello Steve,
It's Christmas time again. Christmas has often been a sad time for us but now you are free and I hope without sadness. How ironic just as I started typing this it started to pour down rain. Well maybe there is still sadness for things done and undone but you are now in a place of peace and all wisdom. You now know the whys and wherefores which gives you a great advantage over me. May you have now what was so elusive in life.
Well, Merry Christmas; I am wearing the Christmas sweatshirts you got me at Spag's and many of the Christmas cat pins you bought me. Watch over all of us and as ever we will drink to your life at our Christmas dinner.

Steve,
It was two years ago that all our plans were so drastically changed. How ironic that on the same day our "new life" was supposed to start that it ended. I'm so sorry we never made it to the Grand Canyon. That trip was supposed to be our second beginning. Maybe you have gotten to the GC; I hope so.
Now Thanksgiving will always be a sorrowful time. Each year before we start dinner my family raises their glasses and toasts you. The kids remember your "Donald Duck" and they try to imitate you. I hope you have peace.

Steve fondly remembered his days at Berkeley High School. He often said his days in the AV club began his interest in electronics which eventually lead to his career and owning his own business. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

I am saddened to just learn of the passing of my Bulkeley High School classmate. On behalf of the class of 1960 I extend our sympathy to his family.

Happy Birthday Steve!
It's our birthday in a couple of days. I remember when we were first dating you asked me my birthday and you didn't believe me when I said Aug. 22! I had to show you my driver's license to prove to you it was. Then you pulled out your license and there it was, Aug. 22. I thought to myself what are that chances? We will toast you at Lobster Fest.

Dear Steve,
It's been almost a year now and I have found it so true that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. The first few years were full of fun and love. We let too much of the outside world in as we aged. We had created such a considerate world full of little gifts and gestures given "just because" and small surprises. I mourn not only the Steve I married but the world we created and only managed to hang on to for a short time. Like always, I'll wait for a sign.

First Valentine's Day without you in twenty years has come and gone. Thank you for your perenial gift! The cat pins of course! Going through your many papers bags I found cat pins you bought but forgot where you put; just like old times!
Take care...see you sooner than you think!

To Steve's family,
So sorry for your loss. I worked for Steve many years ago in the beginning of the alarm company. Always thought he was just an all around good guy. May the happy memories keep you. Fondly, Kate

Dave,
So sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great guy and will be missed.

Janice, my prayers are with you, and your family.

Dear Steve,
I firmly believe that you are now whole, happy and healthy. Your body is rejuvenated and you now have the spirit of that kid who started his company out of the trunk of his car.
Please visit our friends and cats who have gone before you; introduce yourself to my Mom and Dad. Keep an eye over me, David, Monique and Amelia. One of these days I'll look you up myself and we can again swap stories.
Love ya Sweetie,
JRO

So sorry to hear about Steve's passing. I worked at Alphatronics when there were only 5 of us. Steve will always be remembered as a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

you will be missed Steve

We are all compelled to look back and acknowledge that there are certain individuals who influenced our growth, both as leaders and as productive members of society. Steve was without a doubt one of those people. He encouraged and supported self expansion while understanding mistakes were a natural learning tool. He gave of himself and honestly cared about those he touched. I feel I am a better person for having known him.

David and family,
Everyone here at Chadwick Medical Associates offers their deepest condolences at the loss of your father. It was a pleasure to have known him and do business with him. He was true gentleman.
Dr. Bob Maloney, Peg and our entire staff.

Dave,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have some great childhood memories of your Dad and all of us hanging out in the neighborhood. He was a great guy.

Rich Hall

Dave,
Our deepest condolences. Your Dad was such a nice man and dear neighbor.
