I have many good memories of Steve from Sophomore English & Senior speech classes and the times we had lunch together. Steve even dropped in occasionally at Baskin-Robbins to visit with all of the Sunnyslope gang that worked there--Curt Keene, Bruce Trethewey, Bill St. Pierre, Ralph Martin, and me.
We had many good times together, and I will miss seeing Steve at the class reunions.
I first met Steve when we were 10 yrs old. He lived a couple streets over from me. We run the streets in the neighborhood fo many years. Later we would cruise Central in a old Ford p/u of his. As we got older like others we went in different directions in life. Many, many years later after he retired from the military, I ordered a pizza and who do you guess delivered it? It was Steve just workinv to keep busy. We had a great visit. My deepest sympathy to his family. Rest in peace till we meet again old friend
During our Desert View Elementary School years I was often called upon to acquaint/guide/befriend the 'new kid' in school, and Steve was one of those 'new friends' of mine. Fresh from Iowa, Steve and I became 'fast friends' and was usually part of a larger circle of friends at regular, raucous, 'sleepovers' at my house which often included fireworks and bonfires in the backyard, and occasional visits by the police and fire departments. Steve and I were always the two tallest during those Desert View School years, and he 'edged me out' graduating the tallest in our class. During our high school years, Steve and I were the only ones with foreign cars at all in our class, and British at that - an oddity then, though common enough now. I well remember his 'bug eye' Austin Healey Sprite, and how a man of his stature would compress himself into same. Oh Steve! So many memories! Happy Trails to You, old friend
It was hard to accept when I heard the news: a friend since 4th grade, passed away. I first met Steve Schallenberger when he came to Desert View. He was the tallest kid in the class, and I was the smallest. We went to Sunnyslope together, and went into Navy boot camp the same day and were assigned the same company. We went our separate ways after boot camp, but were reunited at ASU, where we enjoyed skipping classes to sit in the Memorial Union and discuss everything under the sun and outer space. Steve and I never agreed on politics back then. He was a traditional Republican and I was a left-leaning Democrat. Over the last 20 years, however, the party he defended abandoned him, and Steve became a Democrat. It was great having a liberal ally. Steve was the most well read person I ever have known. He shared his thoughts on the books he read, and enlarged my reading list. He was prolific on Facebook, so I felt I was in touch with him every single day. May 30th was my late brother's birthday, and when I greeted him with a birthday greeting, Steve was the first to like it. He passed away later that day. My heart goes out to his wonderful wife, Alexis, and his entire family. I truly miss my friend. Steve, you always will be a part of me.
I first met Steve at Sunnyslope while waiting in the line to register. He was standing with Bob Caldwell, Gene Roberts, Dennis Kirkland and one or two others. We all started talking about our summers - I had just moved to Sunnyslope from Texas - and I noticed that we each one of us had some facial hair (some more than others Bob and Gene). Steve and I became good friends and we had many wonderful memories together. I do remember when he bought the Austin-Healey Sprite bugeye. It was a beauty. He had several mechanical experiences with the car which I glady helped him repair. We spent many hours talking cars and working on his bugeye. Although our political views differed sometimes (eh Bruce) we always remained good friends. I will miss his sense of humor and thoughts on life. See you later bro!
