Debbie,
I am so sad to hear of the loss of your beloved Steve. He was such a great guy. We had such good times in high school! You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Dear Debbie, Steve, Mike and Heather

I have known Steve and most of your family for nearly twenty years since I have been preparing his tax returns for that long! He was truly a great person and I could tell that he was a loving and doting husband and father. I know that he will be sorely missed! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I am so sad to hear of Uncle Stevie's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of him. From visiting Orange when I was a little girl to sharing the joy when my daughter graduated from high school, he will always be a part of my memories. If there is a memorial service planned to celebrate his life, I would love to be attend to support Debbie and my cousins and share the very special memories that I have of this very special man.

Go now in peace. All is well. Love,
Kay

The last time I saw my Uncle Steve, he held me in his arms as I cried about losing my mom, his sister, Deana Gratke. The kindness he showed to me is, as I read here, the way he lived his life. I will miss him. May everyone remember those moments you hold dear while grieving this loss that came too soon. My deepest sympathies to Aunt Debbie and my cousins, Stephen, Heather, and Michael.
Love, Shari

As we travel through life we try to make a good impression on people so that we will be remembered as a good person when we leave this earth. I did the insulation work for Steve 30 years ago. His smile and kindness will never be forgotten.
I think of Steve just as his nephew Wade wrote. Your family will be in my prayers.
