Rexford Steptoe Memoriam
STEPTOE REXFORD G. STEPTOE, JR. May 20, 1929January 18, 2005 Dear Father, Pop, GrandDad and Uncle We can never say you''re gone - not really. Your children, grandchildren and nephew have become Mr. Steptoe in ways you would not imagine. Or maybe you could. What an indelible imprint you provided and left us. Your passing changed our lives, especially your daughters (Your Girls). And when things get really troubling, we always ask ourselves "what would Pop say?" And then we laugh, shake our heads, straighten up and move forward - tough as nails. Thank you for that. It''s a blessing to have been taught such resolve and composure. Still, we miss you ... terribly in fact. But we do what we do because we are Mr. Steptoe''s children. And Mr. Steptoe demonstrated - til the end - how to uphold life''s banner and still maintain your dignity and integrity. Happy Father''s Day, Father. We love you and thank you. God bless your soul. Your Children Philip, Carolyn, Julie and Marsha; Grandchildren, Nephew Tuck and Family

January 18, 2005 --
Worst day/worst period of my life; you officially transitioned from us (Philip, Carolyn, Julie, Marsha)...
20 years ago and STILL hurts but we continue because of what you gave/instilled in us.
So much!!
I knew you were no longer here because in 2005 my house pipes froze - for the first time ever - because I did not get your regular "freeze pipes" call. I became uncontrollably hysterical recognizing THAT reality.
Yes, Jan 18 2005 worst day of my life ... worst period of my life. But ALWAYS BLESSED REFLECTIONS OF YOU.
I love you so much Father and THANK YOU GOD FOR ASSIGNING YOU AS MY DADDY.
PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU, MY BELOVED FATHER... MR. REXFORD GILBERT STEPTOE, JR.

Ode to Mr. Steptoe, my beloved Father - Honoring you on Father´s Day - and every day!
"IT WAS YOU!"
As I reflect on the significance of Father´s Day to me, I can only attest that who I am - so nearing age 65 - It is BECAUSE OF YOU! Yes Father, IT WAS YOU who, at age 8 or 9, combed, parted and plaited my wooly hair...IT WAS YOU.
IT WAS YOU who, when I felt insecure and lonely throughout our many childhood relocations, IT WAS YOU who would come into our room and check in on us.
IT WAS YOU who sat at the kitchen table, and ate daily meals with us...THAT WAS YOU! IT WAS YOU who made us come into the kitchen while you cooked because you knew the importance of consistent bonding with your children. IT WAS YOU!
My beloved 6"5, Brooks Brother HERO. THE HERO who walked boldly and protectively with us along the many streets of our many locales, making sure we felt and knew your loving commitment and devotion to us...THAT WAS YOU!
IT WAS YOU, as we became teenagers, and began to rebel as we experienced the growing pains of desired independence - IT WAS YOU who would do whatever was necessary to "not lose touch" with us. You joined us as we watched television, sat with us on the patio, sometimes let us wear the latest fads (sometimes). And, you even let me join you in smoking cigarettes (so weird) ... all to stay connected with your growing teens and "not lose them," you said... THAT WAS YOU!
IT WAS YOU who sat with me and heard my unspoken pleas and quiet confusion. IT WAS YOU when I began making irresponsible mistakes and bringing them back to you ... IT WAS YOU ... only you... who remedied them - without ever, ever reminding me or forcing me to relive them. IT WAS YOU!
IT WAS YOU who trekked all around the DMV getting letters of recommendation from my high school teachers and counselors for me to timely start college - THAT WAS YOU! And IT WAS EVEN YOU who selected all the schools to send the applications for admittance. THAT WAS YOU who not only thankfully acknowledged my acceptance to Dillard University ... but IT WAS YOU who bought two (2) airline tickets & sat next to me on the airplane. IT WAS YOU who also stayed with me in New Orleans for two (2) weeks throughout my freshman orientation --- THAT WAS YOU. IT WAS YOU who understood and sacrificed because you knew your "cool DC daughter" was TERRIFIED... IT WAS ONLY YOU!
And it was only you who (LOL!) located where my off-campus boyfriend lived, telephoned his house and directed me... in your inimitable verbiage...back to Dillard´s campus - or else! HA! THAT WAS YOU!
Your fatherly devotion did not end post-college - Oh no! Because when I suddenly married - without your knowledge or "fatherly permission," IT WAS YOU who took the reins of protection on behalf of your hard-headed, defiant eldest daughter when struggles in the marriage occurred. Indeed, IT WAS ONLY YOU who wielded your strong arm of protection and enlisted your attorney buddy, Mr. Stampley, to handle the dilemma. (Thank you!) Yes, IT WAS YOU. And, IT WAS ALSO YOU who never reminded me or forced me to relive my decisions and the consequences of my decisions... THAT WAS YOU too.
Time continued to pass, and IT WAS YOU - now well into my 30s and 40s - who constantly advised me about my career & workplace actions (ha!), my spending (too many vacations), my solo property purchase (of which you were very proud- thank you!), and especially my role & commitment to my siblings, your children - THAT WAS ALL YOU.
Of course, IT WAS YOU who repeatedly called to warn of freezing temperatures and frozen pipes.... which for 20 years never froze until you passed.
In effect, IT WAS YOU who taught me resiliency, tenacity, fortitude and self-pride. IT WAS YOU who taught us not to be followers; to think for ourselves and be careful and exercise discretion with all alliances... all alliances!!! IT WAS YOU from whom I learned serious thinking, serious reading, non-foolery and unpretentious class.
IT WAS YOU who showed me how to love - even during great personal sorrow, pain and hurt. And IT WAS YOU who exemplified how to retain our moral compass ("stay high") when others annihilate you ("go low").
So, Mr. Steptoe - my beloved Father - on this day, as is every day...I HONOR who God gave to me as a devoted, engaged and very honorable role model father - same throughout my entire life - cradle to grave.
I have never admired anyone more than I admire and emulate you. IT WAS YOU from whom I modeled so much of my priorities, my decisions and my affiliations.
Even when I was horrible towards you, said horrible things and emotionally disconnected from you at times, IT WAS YOU who never left me - even when I know I hurt you. IT WAS YOU who always understood, embraced and forgave. IT WAS YOU who retained humanity, grace and mercy towards me (and so many others). IT WAS YOU.... THAT WAS YOU!
Thank you, Father - my beloved, Mr. Steptoe!
I am grateful you were the god [little "g"] that God gave me [until I recognized Him as the Big "G"]. Not perfect - none are - but certainly worthy of the highest parental semblance of worship, honor, reverence and esteem.
IT IS YOU... who you are; what you have done, how you lived and how you reared & imparted your moral & intellectual compass onto your children.
IT IS YOU - And I THANK YOU! IT IS YOU! Amen and Hallelujah. BLESSED FATHER´S DAY!!
- Your eldest daughter, Carolyn

Hello Family and Friends -- MUST SHARE!!!
So incredibly proud of my niece (Julie's daughter), newly elected Ward 8 ANC Commissioner Amanda Beale and her hard-earned, diligent election efforts to represent her community and our DC hometown. [YEAH AMANDA!!!!]
Separate from Commissioner-elect Beale following in her family's footsteps (hint... hint...haha!!). Commissioner-elect was never deterred by the blood-sport machinations atypical in politics or the prospects of defeat. This is her 2nd round. We have all been there.... this time, she defeated her challenger 192/88....
I can go on and on about Commissioner-elect Beale but... suffice to say... SO PROUD OF AMANDA!! She is her mother's daughter so I know she will continue her humility, hardwork and unassuming commitment to service, fairness and objectivity.
God will continue to reward and guide.
AMEN!!! SO PROUD ...
Btw - she's the one stooping in blue blouse; 6" barefooted. CONGRATS AMANDA!!!!!

Hello Pop! It has been a while. I had a dream about you a few months ago. You were sitting up in bed inside a large and cozy room, with the sun glistening through the window. You were talking to someone seated in a chair at the edge of the bed. You looked healthy, and in good spirits. At some point in the dream, Carolyn, Julie, Philip, and I appeared to be peeping in on you through a large, wood door. We were 20 somethings. Our eyes were glistening, and our smiles were bright. The sun rays filtered onto our faces, and we were like storybook characters leaning in to spy on someone that we admired. We were dressed in fashionable attire, fresh hairstyles, with happy, yet mischievous expressions. As we looked further in on you, thinking we were getting away with something, you then turned and directed your voice towards the door as if you knew we were there. At that point, we opened the door and walked out into the room, surrounding your bedside. The sun was still beaming, and we were all filled with joy as we continued talking to one another. Thank you for being so kind, and gentle. You left an endearing mark that will never be forgotten.
