What an amazing man, father, husband and friend he was. We shall remember fondly all of the good times we shared with him, Jill and Drew. Our hearts go out to you. Love, Lew and Michael.
We am so sorry for your loss. We are praying for peace and healing. Love, Dallas & Mike
Dearest Jill and family…your Steve was a real character, an interesting man and such a joy to those of us in the neighborhood who had the fortune to spend time chatting with him whenever we happened upon him and his buddies, Maggie and Bear. We primarily talked golf and travel and house building and he ultimately cruised by our lot almost every single day to oversee the progress. It was a delightful gesture. Along with his family and friends we are saddened that we will not have more time to spend with him, however, we are grateful to have know him. Rest in Peace, Steven.
My sincere condolences. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Steve was a high school classmate of mine and I thought very highly of him and his family. We have not kept in touch over the years, but I am pleased to read about his family and career and sorry to know of his passing. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Steve will be remembered by those who went to Turner Ashby H. S. as a cheerful, gentle man with a ready smile. My condolences.
