We will certainly miss this gentle soul. He has left a void that will always be felt. Rest in peace Steve.
Dear Ann-Marie,I was so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. Although I did not get to know him very well I still feel the grief you must be enduring. I pray that the wonderful memories you shared will help youand Sam get through this sad time. Sending you a big hug. Aunt May Ann
I am so sorry to hear Steve passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ann, Sam family and friends.
I spent many hours with Steve in the man cave, just talking with each other. Sometimes we just agreed to disagree. Loved that he shared so much wisdom and knowledge with me. He loved Ann and Sam , and talked of their successes with gratitude and pride. If I hadn’t quit smoking I would fire up a cigar and reminisce the good times we shared.
I have so many great memories of Uncle Steve! It sure was fun being a kid around him! I know that tremendous loss I feel right now, and I can only imagine how many times that is compounded by Ann and Sam. My heart is so broken for you both, and for his brothers. I am wishing you peace. Alan, Zach, Abi and I are sending all our love.
As Steve’s older brother by 13 months, it with great sorrow that I say goodbye. The pain I feel is difficult to quantify with words. We lost our dad when we were 16 and 17 and were forced to transition into young adulthood the hard way. We looked out for each other and made our way through the difficult times together. The good times are held close to heart as there were many. He was a good man, husband, father, brother and friend to many. I love him dearly and will miss him tremendously. Rest in peace little brother
Steve was always a great older brother. He loved challenging me. I miss our talks. I love you bro. Rest easy.
So sorry for your loss, Ann. Prayers for comfort and peace to you and your family.
