So sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and your family.
We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of a long time friend. Steve and I (Dave) graduated from DeVry in the same class and started our careers at Nuclear Data on the same day. We worked side by side for many months before being assigned to different projects. We were good friends over the years and remained in contact through the annual Nuclear Data Alumni group. Our sincere condolences to Mary Ann and family.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May the memories live on in your hearts and thoughts.
Our deepest sympathy to you Mary Ann and your family. Steve was a wonderful person and a good friend. We know he is in heavenly home. Our best to all of you.
I remember Steve all the way back to when I lived in Schaumburg and he was friends with my husband, Pastor Fred Ade. They both loved woodworking and often worked in our garage building and making things for the church.
My heart goes out to Mary Ann and her family for their loss and hope she remembers that I am here for her whenever she might need a friend to talk to and even cry with! xo

Dear Mary Ann and Family, My son Tom told me about Steve as I am out of town. Steve was a wonderful man and I am glad to have known him. I send my heartful sympathy to you and your family. God's blessings to you. Prayers. Janet Lux
