So sorry for your loss. He was such a nice man. Cousin Laz built my parent's house back in 1959-a solid sturdy quality structure-a monument to his skills.

I am one of the seven children my sister Cristine spoke of in an earlier condolence. I too remember Lazz being very kind to my father Bob Steffen. Lazz spent quality time and patience instructing my father the skills of carpentry. Occasionally he would stop by our house, and was always kindly and respectful to my mother. His wife Teresa was also very nice to us. I too appreciate very much that he instructed my father in a trade that supported our family. Thank you for all you did to help people and their families. Respectfully, Mandy Steffen

Have only good memories of Lazz as a young man. He gave me my 1st job & built my 1st custom home in 1988 in Monroe Ctr, IL. 1 of best memories was my 1st day as a 16 yr old boy in hot summer nailing a plywood floor of a house. He dropped me off at 9 a.m. & came back about noon. As he walked over to me i was sitting on the floor & he asked if i was taking a break. I replied i was finished , he walked over all the plywood on that deck and told me he couldn't believe i was finished. He looked at me a second and put his arm around me and said how about lets go have lunch at mcdonalds. Without a doubt 1 of my favorite lunches of all time . " R.I.P. LAZZ "

Nanci, Mary, Georgia, Michael and David, I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. What fond memories I have of my childhood spending time at the Lazzerini household. Your mom and dad were like second parents. Your father had such an impact on me and I send my deepest sympathy.

My father was Robert "Bob" Steffen. When my father was young, "Lazz" hired him and taught him to be a carpenter. My father had no skills and no education, and no job. He did however have 7 small children at home. Mr. Lazzerini had more impact on our childhood and future than can ever be conveyed here. Thank heavens I ran into him a few years ago and could tell him. He was so embarrassed to hear about it, and couldn't handle the praise. What a modest man he was. I'll always love him for his kindness and patience with my father. It couldn't have been easy to teach a man with no education and no skills how to build a house, but somehow this special man did it. My father made a good living and with a lot of help from my mother, Bernice, fed and clothed all 7 of us. Thanks Lazz.
