Thoughts to the Cleary family and friends. I knew Steve 20 years through a meeting in Kaukauna before I moved, and then ran in to him about 10 years later at a convention we both attended. He was a great guy with a big heart. He carried a good message of recovery.

Stevie was loyal and true! He loved his family and friends. He was the person who really would give anyone the shirt off his back. He drove thousands of miles to visit with the people he loved. He would call ahead and say "Gi Alert'" meaning he was nearby. He loved to laugh and I never heard him complain once, even after he got very sick. He was an inspiration! May he rest in peace!

My deepest sympathy to Jane and the entire Cleary family. With heartfelt condolences, I am very sorry for your loss of Stephen. May the outpouring of love that surrounds you provide you with the comfort you need during this time and may He who knows your sorrow bring peace, comfort, and healing to your soul. (Psalm 23:4)

Gi, you always made time for your family when you were in town. You'd call and say "meet at Denney", I'm buying.. I enjoyed your since of humor and up beat personality. You were a pleasure to be around, and I felt blessed to have you as my cousin. You taught me a lot about perseverance. I Love you, May you rest in peace.
