Steve is someone who always put a smile on your face with a laugh and good times. I also worked with Steve at Koch and remember admiring how very brilliant and smart he was. Above that he was the ring-leader of all the fun. He will be missed but always remembered fondly. May you always hold close the wonderful memories of special times together.

The loss of Stephen Crane is truly a loss for all Masonry.  He was always ready to assist Sunflower Lodge confer degrees. He truly was a great man, every time he assisted us he would remind us that this was an important occasion for candidates and brothers. I enjoyed watching him work and always picked up something.  He was a walking cypher and was always willing to take time and share his knowledge.  It is brothers like him that keep Masonry alive

Sorry to hear of Steve's passing, my husband grew up with Steve on Devonshire St in Lansing and they were good friends.  I met Steve quite a few times in the early 70's and he was always an upbeat guy with a smile on his face.  May your many happy memories comfort you.

COUSIN STEVE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER JUST BEING AROUND HIM. HE WAS A GREAT GUY AND I AM PROUD HE WAS A COUSIN.

I took worked with Steve at Koch many years ago. Always fun to be around Steve.

I too worked with Steve at Koch.  Rarely do you meet someone who has such an immediate positive impact on those around them.  Steve is one of those people that makes you smile just thinking about them.  I am sorry for your loss.

I also worked with Steve at Koch Industries many many years ago.  I have Steve to thank for the direction I took with my career.  Although I have not seen him in years, I can still hear his laugh and see him in my mind.  He left quite an impression on so many of us.  He will never be forgotten.

Wow, the memories have come flooding back! Steve and I met in the late 70s when he was in town consulting for Koch and I worked for Koch's mainframe vendor, Burroughs. Little did I know I would wind up working with him for nearly 20 years. I seem to remember something about a ‘bikini' cake for his 30th birthday; a prune bouquet for his 40th, and I believe we even got him ‘arrested' (for a fund raiser) one time. Thank you, Steve, for all the fun and laughs. I'm sure you have St. Peter in stitches by now.

I worked with Steve a few years ago and the time we spent together at Delinea were some of the best days. That small group was like a family and my memories of Steve are too many to list. The office full of balloons, the nerf gun fights, Bob's 50th BD prank, and the kareoke party were all topped off by his infectious laughter. The thought of the can of "crane-be-gone" spray (created by Kevin at the Delinea office) always makes me smile.  I am saddened that he is gone, he will be missed, but never forgotten!

If im !/@ the man he was i will have done something.I'm just glad he got to spend time with Cody and Jillian aka j-beans I will love and miss him lots.And I am here for you in whatever you need love you more and more every day Marjorie. Shane

So sorry Steve isn't with us anymore. I also worked with Steve at Koch Industries many many years ago. His sense of humor was one in a million and the smile was always there no matter what...He will be missed...

So sorry for your loss.  I worked with Steve at Koch Industries many years ago.  He could sure brighten your day as he was full of jokes and had such a large personality.

What a great picture, you can feel his bright spirit

What a wonderful picture of your Dad, Marj. Now the memories take hold and keep you connected to him forever!
