Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
…and though he imagined himself an ordinary man, the years had quietly transformed him into a rare and noble being – a good husband, a good father & grandfather, a good friend. Steve was simply one of the nicest most decent men I have known in my life. He reminded me of my father whom I thought the world of and whose presence filled a room and just made everyone in it feel special. He was a role model to my husband Jay in his younger years and Jay thought of him as a brother not a brother-in-law. He respected him immeasurably and tried to treat people and live his life like Steve did his. Steve will be missed by so many but will continue to inspire everyone who knew him.
Joan – Joleen and I are heartbroken to hear of your loss. Steve was blessed to have a wife like you and we will always have fond memories of the two of you from the years we worked together. If you are back in the Salina area sometime please give us a call. God bless you. Steve and Joleen Stein
Joan, we were sad to read of Steve’s passing. Although it’s been some time since I/we have seen you folks know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Was great working with Steve at the Lee Company.
