Diane..... I cannot express the sadness I feel on receiving this news. Steve was my best friend in high school and a mentor to me. It was wonderful to visit with you and him when I returned to Springfield the last time. He has always been and will remain in my memory as long as I live. My condolences to you and his family...

Diane, Shae, Scott -
Always felt close to Steve through the years... from school, the 4H Riding Club, then being two of the few that remained in our home town. I feel sad that lately I didn't know his time was short. My sincerest condolences to you all. May he rest in peace.

Sitting in front of Steve in Home Room was always an upbeat experience. I recall thinking that if we still had inkwells and I had pigtails, the two, pigtails and ink well, would be joined at some point! I remeber Steve as being happy and positive, never rude, always kind. RIP my friend.
To Dianne, my heartfelt thanks to you for sharing some of your thoughts with me. It seems to me that you are an amazing person. With sympathy, Kay

Condolences and prayers for Diane, Shae, Scott, and Joy. While I remember Steve from high school and a short awhile he lived in Connetcuit, mostly I remember him from 4-H and the times we rode horses in shows, trail rides, parades and on the many beautiful dirt roads around Springfield. He and his family were very kind and helpful to my brother and I - big city kids - as we adjusted to Vermont. May he rest in peace.
