Steve was such a nice, kind and beautiful person. I played on the Comptroller's softball team with Steve for many years ago and we hung out afterwards celebrating our wins. Steve was always very friendly, he made you feel special and helped you whenever you needed assistance with work related issues. He never had anything bad to say and  had a very positive outlook on life. He loved his work here at the Comptroller's Office,  dedicating 55 years here is very impressive.

We will all miss Steve and is unique smile.

Rest in Peace my friend.

Bill

To the Messing family, 
I just heard of this loss. I am so so sorry to hear this. Stephen always had a smile in the office and  pleasant demeanor. He was such a nice man, a good soul with a quick joke  and some good stories about the old days. He will be missed. I hope he got to enjoy his retirement a bit. May he rest in eternal peace.

Messing, I began my journey with you over 30 years ago at the Comptroller's Office.  I remember my first interview with you & Bruce Goodman and the rest is history. You were not only a co-worker but a friend too.  We shared Ranger tickets, moms home-cooked meals and many laughs together.  I have beautiful memories and funny stories I will never forget.  I always said, "Messing I will retire and you will still be working here."  I guess I was wrong.  It wasn't God's plan.  Accountancy was your home and family. You were a great friend with a big heart! Now, you are in heaven with your buddies playing Tennis  and Paddle ball.  Gone too soon but always in my heart.  Until we meet again.

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Messing, you can't be replaced. You will be missed. Rest in peace my friend. In Heaven with your buddies. 

So, so sorry to hear about Steve. I met him in 1978 as part of the Comptroller's Office softball team. We shared Rangers seats for many years, though I was, and still am, an Islanders fan.  Even after my retirement, I'd pick him up at the office and we'd go to dinner then a Rangers game. Then I'd give him a ride home or to his car near the  express bus stop. Been a couple months since I visited him at Atria and brought him to the Forest Park Tennis Courts, where he had played many weekends with Eileen Moran and others. Will miss him greatly.    My condolences and prayers are with the family.

Grandpa Messing 💔 you will be missed! Thank you for being you, always smiling and laughing. The best part of being at work was seeing you. I will miss you so much mess mess. Sending you love and hugs from me and your muffin babies. Rest in peace my dear friend ❤️. Love you always 

I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences. 

May Steven memory forever be a blessing.

When I became Messing's Supervisor in 2018, Messing cracked open a fortune cookie for me in the 1st week and said whatever message comes out, you have to tape it to your screen forever. I said ok. And, here it is. Has been on my screen since February 2018 and will be with me for good. Messing was a very jolly and kind soul. We have great memories together and it was a pleasure working with him. His presence is missed and will always be missed in the office! My condolences to everyone who knew him personally. May he rest in peace!

Celebrating Messing’s birthday!❤️🎂

My dear Messing,
Although I have been gone from the Comptroller's office for 16 years, we remained friends/family. We shared good times and lots of yankee memories. You will remain forever in my heart and memory. You will be missed. We love you.. 
Stephy, and your Muffin baby. 

Oh Messing, you will be truly missed. As the padre of financial reporting and as a friend you taught in everything and shared your wisdom. I will remember and treasure so many memories. Sending HUGS to you in your eternal resting place.

My condolences to the family and friends.

Mess I am so saddened, but the precious memories we share will keep you forever in my mind. I will hold our memories close! Until we meet again! My condolences to your family & friends! 

There are special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone.My dearest Messing you may be gone from my sight, but you will never be gone from my heart.  My condolences to the family.
