Mary,
I am so sorry for your loss of Steve. As my neighbors at the Valhalla Condos, whenever I met Steve at the front door, he was sure to make my day with his smile, laughter, and a few great stories. I have good memories of Steve and missed both of you when you moved, and the little yellow truck. All my best wishes to you, Mary.

I'm so sorry to read that you lost Steven. It was hard enough losing Mom and Dad, I can't imagine the loss of a sibling. You have my deepest sympathy.

Captain Jet will be missed very much! I had the pleasure to work with him at Jet and Conoco. He also shared many cups of coffee with my Mom and Dad. It is always hard to say good-bye but you know that he is not suffering any longer. He will be with you in spirit. You can be sure that he has found a better gas station to hang out at now!! Our thoughts are with you at this time.

DeGrand family,
So sad to hear of Steve's passing. He would stop in for coffee and a few scratch tickets each and every morning after dropping Mary off at work and we would visit for a couple hours. He would tell of his trips to South Dakota and how much he enjoyed it. I always knew it was Steve driving in, he would be in the most brightly colored vehicle. He would help me open up the store in the morning. I will miss seeing him at Grandma's kitchen also. The store I was referring to is the Apollo convenience store. It is now called shell, used to be called Conoco. I will miss him!
