Uncle Steve,
There is a void in our hearts. We deeply miss you! We will miss your visits to Ohio, holidays with you, teasing us, making us laugh,your big hugs, and your great laugh. You always will be the best Uncle. It is so hard to accept that you are gone. But, your memory is always alive in our hearts. Your spirit will live on through your children and each of us. I am a better person for knowing you.

Steve and I worked together at GEIS. He was a wonderful man who would help out in any situation you called him for. When Steve left GE we lost a great co-worker. When Steve was taken from this live we lost a fantastic wonderful human and friend. Words cannot express the hurt I feel. May the Lords blessings be with your family now and forever.

Furr Family,
I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Nothing can replace the loss of a family member, but then I realized that Steve has left us more than his death has taken away. He has bequeathed a love and warm memories that I'm sure are everlasting.. May God continue to strengthen you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Steve and me have been co-workers going on 30 plus years. He always had a West Virginia joke for me,a friendly smile and great teacher. He was the best friend to my husband and me. We will miss him dearly.
