Sorry to hear about Steve's passing. I know it's a bit late but I haven't kept up much with family or friends. He was a good guy that loved the rc models and his family. I know he will be missed. My condolences.

Jan , Steve and I met around 1972 at the old Cotati raceway and were friends for ever after. We flew R/C , traded R/C kits , we worked at Toy & Model along with Robbie , we put on 2 Lunker Zone bass tournaments and 18 Worm bass touraments for the County Road Dept . I always looked forward to fishing with Steve . Steve would say to me ,you need to quit that job and become a tournament fisherman , then he would laugh out loud . Over the years we won two first places and every place to fifth place . I miss you my friend and will treasure our memories forever , I Love You Man . Are Hearts are with you Jan and Robbie . BUZZ

Remembering Steve from my first RC days back in '02. He was helping out at Red's Hangar 1, and he walked me around the store and suggested the basics I would need to get started in RC. He was always very thoughtful and patient and generous with his time, and will always be remembered as someone special!

Being a recent addition to the family, I have been learning all about Cousin Steve's life from him and now his friends. I wish we could have had more time together to talk about his latest project and cook some steaks. I'll miss you Steve.

So sorry to hear about the great loss to the Jensen Family. I always enjoyed talking to Steve whenever I saw him. He always had the right answer to any question I might ask about our great hobby. And he always welcomed my dog Jonah into the store and behind the counter at Hangar One. He will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to all the Jensen's...such a loss for you. I will always remember his wonderful smile - it would light up his whole face...just a sweet, sweet man. I loved seeing him pull up to Berg's house, Junior as his co-pilot, made me laugh! My deepest sympathy Jan.

Mr. J
When you are near me,
sorrow seems to fly, and then I think, as well I may,
That on this earth there is no one,
More blessed than I.
But when you leave me,
Doubts and fears arise
and darkmess reigns,
Where all before was light.
The sunshine of my soul
Is in those eyes,
And when they leave me,
All the world is night.
Mrs. J

So sorry we didn't have the opportunity to get to know Steve in our later years. He must've been a wonderful man and very much respected and loved by his family and friends. What a great tribute. It was so good to connect with you both. Time is precious and short. May your good memories bring you comfort and peace in the painful months ahead. God bless you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Garth & Pat Jensen

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Steve. Boy this has just been a really tough year for all of us as family. Jan, and Robbie and the rest of the family is all in my thoughts and prayers. I was glad to see him and give him a squeeze at dad's (Chris Corbin) memorial this past summer. Life taken too soon and too sudden. I am so sorry for this loss. Love Heidi (Corbin) Horne

Jan,
I haven't seen Steve since we were kids, but I see by these entries that we would have been great friends. We had a lot of common interests. His Dad was one of my favorite uncles. I'm so sorry for your loss.
