Chris, Jim and family. I am sorry to learn about Steve's recent passing. I had not seen him for many years after I moved from 12th Street long ago, but thought of him often. I had the fortune of seeing him this past summer at a golf outing. Although he wasn't feeling well he still had a twinkle in his eye and warm smile. He made me feel he was glad to see me, as I was to see him. I will always remember Steve.

To all the Conroy family,
Anyone fortunate enough to know Steve will always remember him as a kind and caring person. We will never forget his great laugh, sense of humor, and gentle ways. Hope it is a comfort in knowing how Steve was loved and will always be in the hearts of so many people.

Our family was very sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was a great neighbor, and as we had the opportunity to observe, a very kind and caring therapist at Samaritan Hospital. Rest in peace.

Dear Mrs. Conroy and all members of the extended Conroy family,
Please accept my deepest condolences and most hearfelt sympathy, which I regret that I cannot extend to you in person. I hold Steve in very high regard. I last saw him at my mother's wake on January 16, 2006. Steve was a pallbearer for my father, Douglas Anderson, who was the long-time (late 1940s to mid 1970s) physical therapist at Samaritan Hospital, in August 1979. I am filled with sorrow over Steve's untimely passing. May God comfort you in your grief.

TO THE CONROY FAMILY, THERE ARE NO NEW WORDS THAT CAN EXPLAIN HOW MUCH STEVE HAS BEEN MISSED AT SAMARITAN HOSPITAL AND WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED THERE. THOUGH HE WILL BE MISSED I HOPE YOU MAY FIND SOME PEACE IN KNOWING GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, AND HE NEEDED ANOTHER GOOD ANGEL TO SIT AT HIS SIDE. ALSO KNOW THAT WHOEVER HE TOUCHED IN THIS LIFE,THEY WERE A BETTER PERSON FOR IT. AN ANGEL HAS GONE HOME. SINCERLY SALLY WALSTON

Please accept my deepest condolences and most sincere regrets that I cannot express my heartfelt sympathy to you in person. I hold Steve in very high regard and last saw him when he came to my mother's wake on January 16, 2006. My father, Douglas Anderson, was the long-time physical therapist (from the late 1940s to the mid 1970s) at Samaritan Hospital. Steve served as a pallbearer at his funeral in August 1979. I am deeply saddened by Steve's untimely passing and extend to you my very best wishes.

Dear Steve's family and friends,
This has come to me and I feel it applies here.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, COME WITH ME. Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best. It will be lonely here without you. We'll miss you more each day, life won't seem the same for us, since you've gone away. Each time we see your picture, you'll smile and seem to say, "Don't cry I'm in God's loving hands we'll meet again some day."
Thoughts and prayers,
Barb, Don, Kathryn and Eric Gray

Dear Jim, Chris, and Joe, and families,
I am deeply saddened hearing of Steve's passing. As I reflected on Steve's life, I could not help but remembering all of those wonderful days on 12th Street. Steve was always in the mix for everthing whether it was baseball in the street, hide and seek on a warm summer night, or just going down the bank to play in the woods. He was a great friend as a child and remained so through the ensuing years and I am a better person for having known him, and you, and having you guys as neighbors. Please be assured that Steve, and all of you, will remain in my thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and years to come.
Sincerely,
Tom Howe

In honor of Steve...
Ready or not, my life has ended.
There will be no more sunrises, days, hours or minutes.
No more cell phones or calls and mail to be returned.
Every thing I will have collected, be it treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
My wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what I owned or what I was owed.
My grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will disappear.
So will my hopes, ambitions, plans, and my To Do List: All will expire with me.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important to me, will fade away.
It won't matter where I was born or what side of the river I lived on.
It won't matter if I rented, or owned a house or lived on a boat.
It won't matter whether I was clever, beautiful or brilliant.
My gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
So what WILL matter?
What will be the measure of my days, weeks and years passed?
How will my life be valued?
What will matter is not what I bought, but what I have chosen to build.
Not what I received, but what I have shared and given you.
What will matter is not the level of my success, but my significance.
What will matter is not what I learned, but what I have taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate from my example.
What will matter is not my competence, but my integrity and character; my true grit.
What will matter is not how many people I have known, rich or poor,
But how many will feel a lasting loss when I am gone.
What will matter are not my faded memories, but the memories of those who knew and have loved me, and you each know who you are.
What will matter is how long I will be remembered, by whom, and for a variety of reasons, like a brilliant rainbow.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance.
It is one made of choice; one of my own choosing.
And in so doing, I dance and write my name with destiny.
I chose to live a life that matters.

Jim and Family, I am very sad about Steve's passing. He was one of the nicest, funniest and most sincere guys I have ever known. In high school, he was loved by everyone. I would run into Steve at Samaritan Hospital over the years, whenever I or my family was a patient, and he never failed to comfort us and encourage us. What a caring heart he had. Steve will always be loved and missed.

One in a million! Humble, sincere, strong of conviction, compasionate in all situations. Jesus says..come follow me and I will give you rest. Steve walked in Jesus's footprints and HE has given him rest and his reward will be great in heaven. We will all meet again but he lives on in our hearts. Thank you Steve, I am a better person for having been your friend.
