So sorry for your loss
Steve, Alan and I will miss you. You represent the history of our neighborhood. We know that you fought a hard and long battle while in pain.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My late husband Everett just so enjoyed Steve and his tremendous ideas. Thinking of you Connie.
Sorry to hear this sad news. Steve was a great person and one of the founders of Winter camping course for Scouts which is still going after 30 years
Steve was a great visionary bringing many training courses to Boy Scouting. I’ll never forget the two dogsledding we attended. You have done well Steve, Now take a rest. . Thank you.
I’m very sorry to see this notice. Steve was a wonderful, intelligent, interesting person. He and Connie were good role models for me as a boy when I’d come over to play with Scott. I think I saw my first computer at the Bytner’s house. They made it cool to be smart. But never at the expense of warmth and good humor. I can see Mr Bytner’s smile, eyes twinkling, watching, waiting for me to make the connection. Sending love to Mrs Bytner, Scott and Sean. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear fellow (and to a lovely picnic with Sherry).
