I believe Steve is someone I often saw at Funeral Homes in Champaign/Urbana, when I was in town for a family death/service. I last saw him at my mother´s service in Urbana in March of 2017. She was 95yrs. Her name was Nadine Legue and was married to Richard C. Legue. I recognized Steve as someone who I´d seen at services before and spoke to him briefly that day.
I am also 73 years old. I believe my father´s father,Roy Legue (my grandfather) is possibly a sibling to Steve´s grandfather/Legue.
Roy had siblings. I recall a few names from reunion picnics years and years ago at Hessel Park. Roy, Minnie, Ruhl, Clella, Murray? Maybe others. It is possible I could be incorrect about the connections.
Whoever see this, I just wanted to comment how very kind it was for Steve to come to the service for my mother. Im pretty sure I met Steve at my father´s service in 1992. My Aunt Grace (Legue) Barnes passed not too long after my father did (1992). Grace was my father´s blind sister.
Nevertheless, IF I´m close to putting this puzzle together , my father and Steve´s father or mother were cousins. And Steve and I were 2nd cousins.?
My condolences to you and any family. And feel free to email me if you care to.
Sincerely, Kim (Legue) Marshall
