My heart is saddened by the news of Steve's passing. I loved his construction knowledge and immense talent to build anything asked of him when we worked together at MUSD. Ann, Stevie and family my deepest condolences for your loss.

We send our deepest sympathy to Ann and the entire Abbath family. I've known Steve since 1979 when I started working at Pertochem. Steve became my best friend. He was quiet and unassuming, but he had a great sense of humor, and as many former Petrochem employees can tell you he did enjoy pulling practical jokes on people every now and then.
When it came to construction know-how, there wasn't anything he couldn't do.I learned a lot from Steve. He will never be forgotten. Although Steve is in a better place, the world is a much sadder place without him.

I knew Steve from his ability to help me do a construction project at my home. He was agreat guy and I enjoyed working along his side. I think I can say that Steve might agree with me in "It's not what you build but how you go about building it." My heart goes out to his family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was always so helpful, with that dry wit of his, when we worked together way back when at Flory. My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Alison

Dear Ann & Family,
I'm deeply sadden that Steve has passed away. I consider him as a lifelong friend. I enjoy his company as a fellow worker at Petrochem Refinery for 5 years. After Pertrochem, we were able to keep in touch at times, before Steve moving to Colorado. Steve will be missed. He is in heaven right now, building GOD a new throne.

Steve and I started at Petrochem on the same day. Throughout the many years there, I always enjoyed working with Steve. He had a great sense of humor and loved practical jokes.

Steve was always willing to help others and many sought his trusted advise and skill. Steve never gave up on a problem. He just kept at it until he had it figured out, then he would help out everyone else too.

We had some great times hanging out after work and at Christmas parties. I'll never forget the time we took a motorcycle trip to Solvang along with Blevins and Munoz. Then we stopped at the Cold Springs Tavern on the way home. Things got a little blurry after that!

Steve will always be part of the old Petrochem crew. My life is so much richer for having known Steve.

God bless you, Steve.
