My heartfelt condolences are extended to Steve's friends and family. Athough I knew Steve briefly, it was evident that he was a soft-spoken man whose feelings ran deep. I remember him as having a quick smile and beautiful eyes that lit up when he was amused. I hope that he met up with his greyhound buddy, Ron, in heaven and that they are having a ball. My sympathies to his family.

My condolences to the Bierman family, and to all who shared in Steve's life here on earth.
Steve was a friend of my first husband (the late Ron Michalski). I remember them sharing many good times together watching the greyhounds run! I remember him as someone who was quick to smile, and great moral support through some pretty tough times. I am just sorry I found out too late to give you my sympathies in person. My thoughts are with you all.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Steve's death and the loss of your brother. Having grown up with him, it seems like only yesterday we all laughed and played on Park Avenue and at St. Peters and St. Alberts. It is difficult to accept that he is gone so soon. I pray you find strength in knowing that through the years he made a positive difference in all of our lives.

DEAR BIERMAN FAMILY
I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR OF STEVE PASSING. HE PAINTED THE INSIDE OF OUR HOME AND HE WAS A JOY TO KNOW. HE WILL BE MISSED.

Dear Family of Steve Bierman:
What a shock to read this news in the paper. We lived next door to Steve on Orchard Avenue for many years and he was an awesome neighbor. We had him paint our rooms in our home and what an outstanding professional he was.
We will miss seeing him and know that he is heaven bound and we will rejoice with him again one day soon.
