New Year’s Day celebration 2026.
We love you both very much. We laughed and joked like we always did. 
Hugs and kisses for all the good friends (family).

I recall Steve in his 'Milwaukee days' when we lived together, laughed together and made many friends.  I especially remember when Steve organized and orchestrated the Lavender Hill Fundraisers, the first of which he hosted in his backyard when he lived on Booth St. in Milwaukee.  Steve knew a good cause when he saw one and didn't
hesitate at all to support that cause.
Rest peacefully, Steve...

Here is a photo of Steve and Andrew at our Palm Springs get together.  We as a Family attended an Elvis Tribute show so of course we all wore the famous sideburns and glasses…

I/we enjoyed and will always  remember a time we gathered  to visit in Palm Springs years ago.  I send heartfelt condolences to you Andrew, the Families, and Friends.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Andrew and Steven’s other Family.  my Partner, Joan and I spent time with Steve and Andrew in Mexico.  Andrew and I are Cousins. 
God Bless Andrew and all of Steven’s Family and friends.

Trip to Yuma. Rest easy Steve. You suffered for so long. Love you.

Good times with my dear friend. I will miss our trips and adventures. Time spent with you was always filled with fun and laughter.

My dear friend Steve. I will miss all our adventures and always remember the laughs and good times. You were always up for an adventure.  My heart aches for Andrew. The two of you were meant for each other. Rest in peace. You suffered too much. ❤️. Love you, Karyl

So many good times together and so many wonderful memories.

Our last picture together. My heart is breaking. He has been my best friend and my every joy for 35 years.

My heart goes out to you all. I knew Steve well during our years together from '79 to '85, and I’ll always remember his activism in the gay community in Milwaukee.   He left a lasting impression on my life, and I am grateful for the memories. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
