Rest in peace Grandpa! Missing you but I now you are watching us and you can see lil Santino now!  I remember the things you & Grandma taught me. How to cook for "Sunday dinners" and how you would watch the trucks on the 5 freeway with Sonny when he was a baby! 
Great times preparing for the Holidays all together.

Love Lara

Your obituary omitted one person,,his first born  son, me, Steve Butera Jr.  Naperville Il. 

I was glad to have known Steve for the past 3 years and to have gotten his approval on being his daughter-in-law and welcoming me to the family.  We had some good laughs together and I’ll always remember watching old westerns on tv with him pretending that I was enjoying it too! We have a cactus in our yard that I transplanted from Steve’s cactus in his backyard.  I don’t think he really believed I’d get it to grow in Lancaster, CA  yet now we have a growing reminder of him in our yard.  Bella Bella is also a constant reminder-she misses her dad. She gets lots of love from us but her heart is with him.  That last Saturday that we all spent together in the hospital, including Bella, before he went to hospice, was a good day and I know he felt the love from everyone who was there.
Luv you Dad!


I am missing my dad every day he is gone but I know he is in my heart and I know he is with my Mother forever and that’s where he wanted to be ever since my mom passed and now they are together 
                                        DAD I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU 
PS Bella is doing ok and she missed you too
May you walk in heaven knowing that you are beside mom 
DAD I’m going to be ok so Rest In Peace 
        Your Loving Son Mike 

My name is Vic Butera and Steve was my Brother.  Our family was our Dad Peter, our Mom Rose, Brother Roy, Steve and Victor and our Sisters Josephine and Mary Rose.  Dad and Mom came to Chicago in 1927 from Amite Louisiana with their Son Roy, born in 1926.  The others, all born on Chicago's near north side in an all Italian neighborhood, a great place to grow up in. My brother Steve always took me with him, he was five years older than me and we had fun times together. All of his friends became my friends  all older and to this day still friends.  Steve taught me how to ride a bike -  a bike that he built from parts that he had found.  He also taught me how to drive a car and so much more about life.  A great big Brother, I love you Steve.

Uncle Steve was a man who had smiles to brighten your day, who always made you feel good with his warmth and grace. He was someone who had good stories to tell but he was also a good listener. He was patient, kind and fun to be with. He was no ordinary man and I loved him dearly. 
Peace be with you Uncle Steve, I'll miss you always.
Love, Debbie

 We are so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Sending our heartfelt condolences to the family. Cousin Steve will be in my heart and prayers always. 
     Love Cousin Betty Ann & George
