I always remember Steve as a great guy. Growing up we had so many fun times together. The memories will forever remain in my mind. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and two children. Funny thing is, I was thinking about Steve the other day as I was watching my son (Steven James Zukley) walk around for the first time and how great it would be to get a hold of Steve to tell him how exited I am to be a Dad and to invite him to my wedding in September. So, Steve, when you are watching from above, know that I will always be thinking of you and hold those memories very close to me. RON

My son, Ron, was a best friend of Steve's through and beyond high school. Ron was informed at his home in Doylestown, Pennsylvania of Steve's demise, and sent the Hammond Times Obituary.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Steve's family and tell you that I am truly sad for your loss.

Steve and I were classmates at Calvary. I remember him as a sweet and fun person, someone who could always bring a smile or laughter to us all.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come as you face your sorrow.

Most Sincerely

My most sincere sympathies go out to Steve's family. I'm truly saddened and a bit shocked to hear the news of his passing. We were the same age. Steve and I were class mates together at Calvary Academy all through high school. He was I think the most energetic member in our class. I wish I could attend the funeral. I am in the active Army and currently not in the local area.



Sincerely,
