Wow, what a loss. Traveling over Easter, we missed hearing about Steve.

No one can think of him without smiling and picturing him smiling. His humor and heart touched all who knew him and you, as the family, were surely blessed.

Liebe Margaret, Kristina und Stephen,



wir waren alle ganz geschockt, als wir vom Tod Deines Gatten und Eures Vaters erfuhren.



„An Kleinigkeiten werdet Ihr Euch erinnern,

an stille Momente, ein Laecheln, ein Augenzwinkern.



Und obwohl die Trauer unueberwindbar gross scheint,

wird die Erinnerung dieser kleiner Dinge helfen,

den Schmerz zu verdraengen.“



Wir wollen Euch unsere tiefe Anteilnahme ausdrücken und denken in diesen Tagen viel an Euch.

Steve got more out of life in the 3 years that I knew him than most people I know get in 63 years.

Of him it seems that "one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name"

We all loved and respected your values Steve keep up the pace wherever you are.

Margaret, Stephen and Kristina:

Please accept my deepest sympathies and heartfelt sorrow at your loss. I will always remember the fun times we spent down at the "farm" in Orange many years ago, the many tiny doves Stephen had shot that we had for dinner and our hikes through the fields. Stephen was a good man and a wonderful person. Take care of yourselves and always, remember, the good times make wonderful memories. Sincerely, Dianne (Osborn) Wojnarowski

Margaret, I am so saddened to learn about Steve's death. He seems much too young to not be here. Bob and I have so many memories of things that the two families did together. Our kid's childhood memories always bring up the different things that you and Steve did with them.



Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Please call if we can be of help to you.

Steve touched many lives and left each one better for having known his charm, his wit and his in-depth knowledge on diverse subjects. There was only one Steve and he will be greatly missed by his Family and Friends.
