The ceremony marking Steve’s life was Tuesday, September 15. It was live streamed on Youtube and the video is there now. I thought that some of you who have seen Steve pop up over the years might be interested.
This was truly a celebration! Hawaiian shirts and colorful garments were encouraged along with smiles and good memories.
There were 5 speakers who shared memories of Steve—and some truly funny stories. His brother, Charles, came first. Then a former student, Hayley, followed by colleagues, Pete and George. Our son, Jeff, was the last speaker and he nailed it. Steve would have enjoyed it all so much. If you watch, I hope you smile a lot.
Becky,
Such an awesome celebration of Steve’s life and goodness that he gave to not only his family, but his colleagues, students and all who knew him. I know you miss him, but know that he is still looking over you! God Bless! 🙏❤️

Hi Becky,
I watched Steve’s service last night and it was indeed a celebration of a life admired, revered and loved. What a fine legacy he left behind, and know you and your boys are so proud of him. Your son Jeff spoke so well and had a dynamic presentation. Must admit I Googled him and saw he is a high achiever just like his parents!
Thinking of you and wishing you comfort at this difficult time.
Blessings, Margery
