My wish is that each of you find a love like Steve and I had for each other. And the joy he brought into my life. I will always be a better person for having had him in my life. And will always try to live my life with the lessons he gave me by the way he lived his. Brite stars sometimes burn out quickly.

JoAnn and Family:
Please know that we are all grieving with you. Some of us differently and some of us know exactly where you are at.
Prayer becomes a wonderful resource to draw on when living through our painful moments.
And prayer gives us the willingness to accept God’s solution for every problem that plagues us.
This is the one of the toughest days you will have to face��_.
However we will all be with you to celebrate our friend Steve!

I have so many good memories of Steve. When I think of him, I always smile. I am so blessed to have him touch my life. I know that heaven is a much more joyful place now that Grandma, Mom and Steve are spending eternity together. Steve always found the joy and laughter in all that life brings our way. I want to carry that with me. He will be missed. My family’s love goes out to all who love him.

God bless our Steve! His contagious laughter still rings in my ear as he blurts out the name “KRIKAU!” Steve, I knew you best in high school, and your charming personality will make me smile always! Rest in peace, my friend.

It is August 15 and today I received a call from a fellow worker from the Post Office informing of Steve’s death. I am totally stunned and saddened by this news. I worked with Steve in Maintenance at the Post Office. He was one of my favorites to work with. He worked so hard and diligently. Always had a joke or was pulling jokes with me and I always fell for them. His laugh and smile were wonderful. I am truly sorry I did not know that he was ill – I would have driven the distance to visit him and try to share moments with him and tell him again how I enjoyed him. I didn’t keep in touch with him-I didn’t get to say good-bye & now I weep with sadness for that.
No one will probably read this now, but I just wanted to say good-bye to a very sweet fellow and my sympathy to his family and partner. I am so glad there was a picture of him to print out – Thank you.
