Our deepest condolences to you and your family
Gentile Family: I remember Steve fondly as he & a couple of others would save me a stamp when the new ones came out! I also remember mowing the Gentile’s lawn many, many times. Please accept our condolences!
Marty, My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Dear Marti,
So sorry to hear of Steve’s sudden heart attack. He was always a very special person to me. A great friend as we went to school together and a good neighbor to Lou Ann. I like to think that he went to the post office to work as I told him how much I liked working there back in the seventies. He is fondly remembered, and may he rest in peace.
Dear Marti and family,
Saddened hearing of your shocking loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Elaine Taraska
Bev and I were saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was a great friend while in school at Youngsville and when he attended Gannon. Although we’ve not seen each other much since we moved to Oregon, we did get to meet a number of years ago again. His nature as a gentle soul is reflected in his name. We will be making a donation in his name to the Warren chapter of the American Heart Association. Dave & Bev Thompson

Dear Gentile family, I was saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. He was always considerate and kind, and I was fortunate to have him as a friend and roommate in college. I am happy to see he had a full life. May he rest in peace. Mike (“Mort”)
