Steve was a wonderful man. I met his father in the 60s when he would bring Steve and Gary to play golf at Pecan Valley. As years passed, Steve was always there for our family. He will be missed.

I met Steve in 1990 when we arrived in SAT to start a farming op. He was always helpful to us and a supporter of Israeli agriculture. Z"L

To the family, We just heard about Steve's untimely passing. We dearly loved Steve and Howard was envious of Steve's love for and from his family and friends. We always saw Steve with a smile on his face and a warm, friendly hello and brief conversation. We share in your loss.

Lala, John and I are at a loss for words to express out deepest sympathy..We loved Steve so much. We will surely miss him in our hearts and also miss him here at the produce market. I gave him a big hug the last time I saw him and i am really glad i did. We love you John,Beverly Perez

Steve was one of the kindest, dearest people who ever walked the earth. Even as a teenager, he was a benevolent generous friend to all. Deepest sadness and sympathy to all who loved him.

Lala and the Girls - I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there to help you through such a difficult time. It seems it was just the other day you guys were married. I remember seeing you all in Chicago; hard to believe. May he rest in peace.
Love, Dottie (Newhouse) Fiedler and Family (Chicago) and Edith W Newhouse (SA)

Dear Lala,
It pains me to learn of your sudden loss. Although our visit was short, it was easy to discern Steve's love of his wife and his daughters, as well as his religion. He won my respect by his generous and tender nature. May the girls be comforted in the knowledge of how proud he was of them, and for you, Lala, may you find solace now and in the days ahead by your many years of shared memories. Condolences to the entire family.
With love and light,
Melinda

My heartfelt condolences go to the Gossen family. Despite Steve's gruff exterior, he had a heart of gold. I already miss his Brother Tom greetings. Steve called me at least once a week to discuss a variety of subjects to include; the market, family, history, and sports, particularly his beloved baseball. Steve's physical absence at our November board of directors meeting will create much sorrow, but I am confident he will be with us always in spirit. Steve had a way to keep us focused and ever mindful of our fiduciary responsibilities. I will be forever grateful to Steve for taking a hand written note from me and placing it at the Wailing Wall on his trip to Jerusalem. Rest in peace Brother Steve.

I wanted to say to all my heart felt wishes to you all. It is never easy at this difficult time. Steve was a wonderful son, brother, father and friend to many. 
May all the beautiful memories live on forever.

To the Gossen Family My condolences go out to your family. Steve was a very kind and loving man. My prayers go out to your family.

Prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow. My brother Raymond, a long time employee of California Produce has always had wonderful things to say about Steve. Years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Steve when he came to visit my brother when admitted to the hospital. That occurrence within itself, says much about Steve's caring and genrerous character. God's blessings of peace and comfort, Cyndi Ramirez Morin

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Gossen family during this difficult time. It was an honor to serve with Steve on the board of directors of the San Antonio Produce Terminal Market. Steve was instrumental in overseeing board meetings as our unofficial Parlimentarian. He captured the floor with kind words in our Good and Welfare segments of our meetings, then promptly made a joke that was sure to be deemed as "colorful". Steve will be missed greatly...

The Steve Gossen Family, my condolences, I was saddened to here of Steve's passing. I pray for strength for your family. Kirk Hunter
