on May 15th 2013 the world lost a incredible person , that night my whole world was completely turned upside down and my heart torn apart . This 1 year journey has been the most hardest and most painful thing I've been through ! I miss your smile, your laugh , your voice , your hugs & kisses , I miss it all ! Healing through grief is not about learning how to STOP missing you, it is about learning to live my life WHILE missing you , Love isn't about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you built till the end .One sweet day we will meet again , when I step out of the darkness you will be standing in the light ! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS & FOREVER Gone but never forgotten love your wife, Kathy

Steve was the most upbeat person I know. Always a smile and a nice word. Thinking of others first. The world has lost a good man, but God has gained an angel. I will miss his smile. Kathy take care and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I've known Steve for many years and despite his health issues he was always upbeat and brought joy into the room when he entered. So sorry to his wife, Kathy, and family for their loss. Steve left us way to soon.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Kathy, My family's thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will always remember Steve's infectious smile and kind words when he came into the store. It was always a pleasure to help him pick out the perfect card for you. I will miss talking Terps basketball with him and getting those great hugs. Steve was one of the kindest, gentlest men I knew and I am blessed to have known him for so many years. May you find peace and comfort in the knowledge that friends and love surround you. Liz

I've had the honor of knowing and caring for Steve over the past five years. Kathy- I admire your strong,sweet spirit. I am glad the nursing and other staff of the Perry Point Community Living Center, Unit 25A, were able to make Steve's last months on earth as comfortable as possible. I know he had a strong desire to live, and he never gave up trying to get stronger. I am blessed to have also met your Pastor Gene who provided many hours of comfort, not only to Steve, but to other Veteran's as well. Thank you for the honor of being a part of Steve's final journey home to Heaven.

My very first memory of my Uncle Steve is when he was still living with Nana (Joann Clouse), in his old room. I remember it often. I was around three, maybe four, just laying on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He was putting me down for a nap, stroking my hair, rubbing my back, and asking me to shut my eyes and go to sleep. I remember asking him if he was going to take a nap with me, and was disappointed when he said no. He would call me Pumpkin, up until the time when I didn't think that was too cool anymore. Uncle Steve taught me that when someone gave me a complement, I was to say 'thank you'. I'm able to pass that on to his Great Nephew and Great Niece, Camden and Rylee. Thank you for the memories, Unc. I'll see you soon enough! Give my PaPa a hug from his girl and give a belly rub, and a chewy, to Spud! Go rest high on that mountain, for God has gained another Angle to help complete His work! Your Soul lives forever, but only your body dies. Cathy, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. His mind, and body, are a PEACE! Uncle Steve will visit you, walk beside you, and help you in his best bill of health. And to me, that is comforting, I hope it is to you as well. Blessings, Stacia Fontaine

Thinking of you during this difficult time. If it is any consolation, time heals, and I honestly feel that God allowed my Bob and Mabel's Smoke and your Steve to be so sick that we can't wish them back. We miss them terribly, but more able to pick up and move on. God bless you Kathy and will continue to keep you in prayer.

My husband and I first met Steve and Kathy in Ireland, 2008. We toured together and ate together, and had a wonderful time getting to know one another. We will never forget the great time we had. Steve was a great person and even though he was having health issues at the time; always had a smile on his face and a good word to say. May he rest in the peace of the Lord. Ruth & Tim Neville.
