Stephen, we love you very much and will miss you deeply. You were an excellent father to my children and they cherish each moment they shared with you as well as myself. We learned so much from each other; you showed me how to express my feelings and I taught you how to accept love. You have taught me what unconditional love is. You never gave up on us. The past 8 years together may not have always been the best, but we were committed to making this work. You always said "we were meant for each other and we were going to grow old together." We had many moments of laughter as well as sadness and tears. You sense of humor seemed to have taken over your entire body at times. There was no stopping you once you got going. I will not forget that. You just wanted to make everyone laugh. We looked forward to what the future would bring us. You were my strength, my guidance and had my soul. You were my bestfriend, and now that you are gone doesn't mean I will not continue to share my life with you. You are in a better place now and are at peace and you are where you deserve to be. You know where I stand as far as the beyond, so you know we will be together one day. You will be greatly missed. With all my love, Dianna, Taylor and Victoria

To all of his friends you were special to him and he talked about you often.
To all of his co-workers he laughed and joked about you and loved working with you at Kadant.
To his beautiful daughter Chelsea he told me how beautiful you were turning out to be and how much he loved you and he still cared about your mother's well being.
To Keith your dad loved you very much and was proud of you. And was very happy to be a Grandpa. (even if he didnt show it he told me about it).
To his family Steve thought highly of his sisters and Grandma.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, I will miss him as much as you do. I wish I could fly out there to pay my respects to all.
Hugs and Kisses from Wisconsin.

My heartfelt sympathy to Stephen's family, especially my grandson, Keith. If there is one thing I would say about Steve is that he was a man who took responsibility seriously. I spoke to him last year and he told me he wished things had turned out differently, but that he truly loved his son, Keith.

As we walk in our life we meet new people who are special to us.
Many years ago you walked into my life and it changed mine.
There were times when we would fuss.
Your words were so calm and fine.
When I moved back home for the boys to grow.
You decided that you must stay there for your own children.
We always stayed close and we both would always know.
Never knowing when.
The calls would end with you going to heaven.
I wasn’t ready for you to go.
But God had his reason for this.
Your memory will never go away.
My love for you will always be in my heart.
I will always know that you loved me.
It was just something that was never meant to be.
Now you found true freedom and spread your wings and fly.
Someday I will see you again to see the sparkle in your eyes.
For now it is Good bye
I will always Love you.
