The Everlasting Light
Those we love must someday pass
beyond our present sight...
must leave us
and the world we know
without their
radiant light.
But we know
that like a candle
their lovely light
will shine
to brighten up
another place
more perfect...more divine.
And in the realm of Heaven
where they shine
so warm and bright,
our loved ones live forevermore
in God's eternal light.

I cant believe it has been 7 months since you left. I hope wherever you are it is wonderful!! Can you beleive that in exactly one month I will have been married for a year. We are going to Puerta Vallerta, I know you loved it there so I am going to take some of your ashes. I am so glad you were able to walk me down the isle at my wedding. I miss you terribly. Uncle Greg says he dreamt that you were on a beautiful beach with a big smile on your face. I have a picture of a beautiful beach that I look at everyday while i am at work and hope that you are enjoying the warm sun, and sound of the waves crashing on the shore. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve was a great person & a great manager. In just the short time that I worked for him I came to respect and like him. His laugh brightened up the entire office. All my condolences to Steve's entire family.

Steve-
Kyle told me that he was sure you were in heaven pulling cable. I know it must be true as you always wanted a perfect crew. Now you have a million angels helping you and there are no slackers in heaven.

We were shocked to hear of Steve's passing, he always worked hard to stay fit. We will miss one of his favorite expressions "In my former life" that he used often. We send our thoughts and prayers to everyone in the family.

A few years ago, Steve was visiting his daughter Shelley who lives next door to us. I was very impressed with the way he came to my aid after Bob explained to him that one of my office phone lines wasn't working and the installer was out of commission for a few weeks with a medical issue. Even though he didn't know me well, without hesitation he said he would check it out!
It only took him about 15 minutes to resolve the problem and most of that time was spent showing him several "birds nests of wires" in the phone room. Quickly and easily he said "this will likely do it"...and...that was it...we could hear a nice dial tone!!
I really appreciated his good nature and the ease with which he worked.
Our sincere condolences to Shelley, Kay, and family.

I will always remember the infectious laugh that could not only fill a room, but could also be heard from miles away. A work ethic second to none that was not only admirable, but also inspiring. It was my honor to know him. My thoughts and prayers to Kay, Kyle and the rest of the family.

We are still reeling from the news of Steve's passing. We had such a wonderful weekend with you all just 2 weeks ago including the hot air balloon show. Thanks to Steve and CIS for such a good memory of our last time together. We know he was truly happy in what he was doing. We love you and will always be close and available for anything you need. We pray for God's strength, peace and comfort for you during this very difficult time in your lives.

We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to have re-connected with Steve & Kay just before their move to Reno. The time we spent together was precious. Steve was a true gentleman & his whit & generosity were unsurpassed. Steve will be greatly missed; however, his spirit remains with all he touched.

Steve, you came to mind this past week. The last time we spoke was just before you moved to Reno. I hadn't talked to you in at least ten years but we caught up quickly. You ALWAYS had the ability to make me laugh even when that wasn't your intent! I'll never forget your humor, your 6-pack of Coke, your laugh and love for life. One of the last things you told me when we worked together at VOICEPRO was, 'I want to have fun in my profession'. You made it fun Steve.

Thank you Steve for believing and trusting me with all of the job sites I ran for you. I would be on job sites out of town for months to a year (in one instance) and you trusted me enough to never check on me or worry about the sites. I thank you for the oppurtunities. You were always there if I needed help or advise, like a father would be for a son. Kyle is one of my few best friends and I will never forget AP Tech.

What can I say here? Your are missed terribly! You always made me laugh, taught me about hard work and took time to just ask me how my day was going. We both shared a love for the Sunset District. Thank you for sharing your memoires of the way it used to be. Thank you for your concern about Bob and the girls. You touched so many deeply and we won't ever forget you Steve. C.I.S. is a brighter place because you passed through the doors.
