Steve - its 2019 and I think of you often. You were a true mentor and dear friend. Everything I know in my field of architecture and construction is because YOU taught me! Your memory never fades. You helped me more than anyone in my life. I thank you and will always remember you. I honored you at my wedding, my sons Bar Mitzvah - every big event I honor you. You were a beautiful human being. I miss you dearly.

I can't believe it's almost one year ago since we lost you. SRG is hanging in there! I bet your laughing about that! Oh but the best news is about your new grandson Shawn, you would love him. SRG has made a bulletin board of pictures of him that you would have loved..My favorite is the one with the phone in his ear and his eyes are closed! Who does that remind you of? We miss you so much and the sadness does not go away...It gets harder and harder to come here everyday without you being here, after all you were the glue that held SRG together!!
Love your work family

Words cannot express the sadness I'm feeling over the loss of Steven. As teens we spent countless hours walking our dogs together and talking about absolutely nothing. As adults we spent countless hours talking about our family, our jobs and the things in life that were important. His family meant everything to him! I know that heaven has a new star shining down on us, but it won't take away the tremendous feeling of loss. Steven will always have a special place in my heart.
Bonnie, Jason and Matt-I hope your memories will help you through these tough times. I know Steve is watching over you.

Dear Steve,
I just wanted to write you a letter to tell you how much SRG misses you. You were the best boss and friend anybody could possibly ask for. For the past 13 years you were there for me and everyone else here. I walk in here now with a heavy heart. I expect you to walk down the hall and help us solve all the problems of the day. I miss the hockey calls from everyone. Even though I complained I knew Hockey was one of your favorite things. I remember when I came for an interview for the job and I told you I was a Ranger fan and you said " I might not be able to hire you" but you did and I did not mention the word "Rangers" anymore. I want to thank you for everything that you did for my son. he is a better person for having known you. So with deep sadness we continue your legacy at SRG and as team we will all make sure Matt succeeds. Because he is your son, I know he will
Love & prayers
