Memories of Steve – He loved Ann more than anything in the world. He was smart as a whip and could recall almost anything. He was one of the most organized people. He was kind, gentle, and funny. He loved taking pictures and always got double prints. He was a good cook. He knew the lyrics to most songs. He had a huge collection of 45 records. He was a good Uncle, a loving husband and a great brother-in-law. He will be missed. We love you Steve.
May happy memories help you at this time. Sending love and hugs. Barbara and Poul Hansen

Steve, or Uncle Stevie as he was known to me, had one of the most amazing minds- he could remember the most interesting facts and had a gift for palindromes. I remember as a kid asking him for a random fact or quizzing him about a certain song on the radio and he was always quick to answer! I also will always have fond memories of his love of fanny packs, Uncle Stevie, you’d be happy to know Fanny packs are once again the “cool thing!” A lot of my fondest memories growing up include Uncle Steve and Auntie Ann, from our many trips, one of them literally around the world, to weekends at the farm fishing and Steve taking lots (and lots.. and lots.. ) of snapshots to document it all! Every time I pull up to the farm I picture Auntie Ann and Uncle Steve standing at the top of the driveway, waving, (sometimes next to a wooden cow with a Hawaiian Lei but that’s a different story!) with the most genuine smiles. I will also always treasure our dinner dates when I was living in Baltimore. As a poor graduate student Uncle Steve and Auntie Ann used to bring me groceries and take me to different restaurants once a month, filling my fridge and my stomach, with usually enough food ( and left overs) to get me through until their next visit! If theres one thing I know its that Uncle Stevie was greatly loved and will be greatly missed by many.

Dear Ann, Love and prayers are sent to you on your loss of our beloved Steve. He was indeed the shining member of
The Book Club where you and he hosted colossal meetings to discuss our books. Gatherings at the Farm will never be forgotten, as they included local field trips and exceptional meals. Steve’s generosity knew no bounds. His limitless memory enhanced all of our discussions. You are both a part of an endearing legacy. Please keep well and take comfort in your many happy years together. Kathy

(Great)Uncle Steve was a kind and caring man who had a marvelous sense of humor. He was an avid photographer (“photo op! photo op!”) and world traveler with a quick wit and an easy smile. Soft spoken and friendly, loving and intelligent only begins to describe him. He was a special man who showed immense love for his wife (Great) Auntie Ann and his family and friends. My time spent with Uncle Steve has left me a better person. We love you Steve, God bless you and may you rest in peace.

Dear Ann,
Although my social occasions with you and Steve and were few in number throughout the years that you and I were special educators in Prince George’s Schools, I always felt a close bond with Steve because he had a way of being open and inclusive, and I looked forward to our get togethers; his wit and humor so endearing! You have my heartfelt sympathy, Ann, and may time gently heal your sorrow.

Ann, so sorry to hear of Steves’s passing, he was a great patient. Rest easy, Steve💔. Susan (Dr Sterner’s office)

Ann
Steve was certainly a bright, witty, and gentle man. From the times when he would come and take care of our cats, to the times at the post office and other community encounters , he was positive and engaging despite his health difficulties. You had a oneness together. It was always Ann and Steve. We will continue to remember that oneness as two people dedicated to each other and the love you shared.
Steve will be remembered with warm thoughts and we be there for you now and in the days to come. Love and condolences
Sarah and Dennis

Dear Ann,
It has been a pleasure to know Steve. He was one of a kind. Upon meeting him, he left a lasting impression through his dry wit, his sense of humor and his vast store of knowledge. Steve had a kind disposition, was always interested in what I had to share and was a great listener. I will remember him and you as a team in The Book Club that was willing to research all angles of the books we read and present us with extravagant experiences related to the themes of each book. I have fond memories of our Book Club weekends at your farm. His absence will be greatly felt by all of us. Please know that I’m here to support you.
Love, Kathy

Dear Ann, so sorry to hear of Steves passing. What a beatiful couple. I so admired you two, definitely soul mates. Consider yourself hugged by me. Now rest

Dear Ann,

I was so sorry to hear about your wonderful husband Steve’s passing. I worked with Steve at the Census Bureau in the 90’s up until Steve’s retirement. Steve was so knowledgeable and bright and incredibly kind and to say he was witty and humorous is an enormous understatement. I had so many great conversations and shared intense laughter with Steve—he was brilliant with his dry sense of humor. I recall him making me laugh so hard sometimes my stomach hurt. I particularly remember one meeting where Steve had me laughing so intensely I was uncontrollable and tears were streaming down my face. After the meeting I told Steve (jokingly) I would never attend another meeting with him as he was making me look totally unprofessional. I will always remember this remarkable guy for his humor. May he rest in eternal peace and may God embrace and comfort you and yours during this time.
