"Steve I was very upset when I heard of your passing and I don?t understand why! I want to thank you for all you have done for me through the years! No man would do the things for his father in-law like you have for me! You were the son I didn?t have! You helped my daughter raise my grandchildren and took on the role as their father! Thank you for that? you showed them what a father is supposed to be! Pete and Sylvia I am so sorry for your loss may Steve Rest In Peace!"
"It doesn?t feel real, it feels like just yesterday we were watching the heat games at the house, or watching jeopardy at the dinner table, you helped my mom finish a job that my father couldn?t complete, you helped mold me into the man that I am today and I can?t thank you enough for that. Seeing the kindness in your heart for helping others helped me too and without me even noticing that?s something that got passed on to me. I remember the times where you bought food for the homeless when we were in Burger King, working a hard labor job with not much in your pocket, years later I find myself doing the same thing, you were smart, loving and full of potential, I?ll never understand why it had to be this way but that?s how life is , I wish you could hear all my beats and show you how I do it so I can finally be the one to teach you for once. Thank you Steven for everything that you?ve done for me and my sister , I wish I had the opportunity to express that to you more but I know you always knew how much we appreciated you. blood doesn?t mean anything and you taught me that, I love you Steven and you?ll forever live on in my heart the words thank you just aren?t enough"
