That is the time you need our prayers the most. Those are the times God will give you the strength to make it through. We love you!
Fester: It is with heavy heart that I say good bye to you from this world, however I can only smile in reflection. You had the ability to bring so much true joy to those around you of which our family was so fortunate to be a part. Your lightheartedness was tempered with such depth of person. I will never forget your rescue of our Sunol home from a poor contractor. You came after other jobs to see us through because you truly cared. The breadth of your expertise and knowledge can not be understated. I think it was one of the kindest acts I have ever received. I will always be grateful.
To your family. As a mother and grandmother, I know Steve’s generous gift of self was taught by the love of your family. He spoke seriously about the positive impact your grandmother and grandfather had on his life and his love for your family. I will always know he was one of the important souls to walk through my life and I thank you so much.
Steven , words alone can express the ache in my heart. You have impacted so many of our life’s in the same way.You never knew the word no when it came to helping others. You gave your all till you had no more to give. You could light up the darkest room with your laughter and smile. You will always have a big place in my heart. Say hi to grandpa for me! Missing you Jeannemarie
Steven James – the world is a sadder place without you here. Thank you for all the millions of things you did everyday to make our days filled with laughter. You are a very special person and will be greatly missed. With love, The Souza Family
Steve, mentor and friend: thank you for your guidance, your humor, and your confidence in me. We can only hope to measure to your standard, but we can never equal the impact you have had on our lives. You are another that we lost far to soon. I hope you will be there to greet me when my time comes. Until then, may your spirit watch over and help guide us. I will miss you.
So sorry, Steve worked for us in high school at the Mission Pass Shell!! We loved him and enjoyed him sooo much. He was a great employee and always smiling and funny! This is a shock. The customers loved him as well.
Oh Steve. I still have no words to express the loss I feel in my heart. My friend since I was 18…so much laughter, so much history, and you were such an immense help to me during my darkest days. I will cherish our bond forever and will remember you always. I am so happy you found love and happiness and my heart goes out to all those that are missing you. Rest well, McGruber.
I still miss you my wise friend. I am forever grateful for your friendship. Thanks for always letting me know you were there. Thanks for everything you taught me.
