I just stumbled over this obituary. I had not spoken to Steve since we graduated High School. But every time I would see an AMC Gremlin or Mercury Cyclone, I would think of him. I am shocked. I am so sorry for your loss

To the Gruber family, Wayne and I want to extend our sympathy in your loss of Steve. It's so very hard to suffer the loss of such a vibrant
young man. We had many good times with Steve and Chuck with The Classic Cruisers. You all have my prayers that God can give you the peace and grace to get you through this difficult time. Much love and comfort.

Very sorry to hear of Steve's passing.
Knew Steve for many years when he was a kid going to car shows with his Dad.
He was a member of our car club the "Classic Cruisers".
Saw Steve several times in the last few years as well, Turkey Rod Run in Daytona, Car show in Orlando & at our mutual friend Joe Madeline's funeral.
Steve will be missed - but remembered as a wonderful person, he had a great laugh & just a pleasure to be around.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.

I just heard this tragic news tonight (6/6/14)while at a car show. Razia and I are deeply saddened by Steve's passing and pray that God will welcome him as the angel that he was and give peace and comfort to his wife, Chuck,Bonnie and all the Gruber family. Steve was truly a wonderful soul, always smiling with an upbeat attitude that was both catching and refreshing. I can just imagine Steve now driving his old Chevy on heaven's highways. God Bless Steve,his wife and all his family. We all miss you Steve.

The loss of my brother has been devastating and has left a void in our family. I will miss his impressions that made me laugh, his cards on every holiday, and his presence in my life. I will think of him every time I pass a classic car, hear an Elvis song , or escape to TV Land :) Thank you all for your kind words about my amazing brother! Elvis has left the building...

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen almost daily since Feb 2007, via chat sessions, phone calls, or emails. A true professional during each and every contact, no matter how many questions I may have had regarding AT&T.
Stephen and I also shared a great passion for cars... older, the better.
I will truly miss "Elvis" until that day when I get to see him again.
