I really enjoyed working with Steve. He was always a character, but he also had so much knowledge and experience. He will be greatly missed. – Michael Larmour (Cummins)
I loved talking to Steve and hearing his stories. Always had a smile on his face and could put one on yours. He will definitely be missed.

Megan,
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Erica Shea Liupaeter
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, “This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you”.
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
I am deeply saddened.

From the first, I felt like I had found a friend. Thank you for sharing him with us at Cummins. He was a treasure and someone I looked forward to seeing. Will definitely be a different world without his wisdom and friendship. Bless you all.

I will miss Steve so much! Friends for so long. Have faith Megan and know he will always be with you
I’m so saddened to hear this news. I pray for God’s comfort and strength for Megan and family. The thought of Steve brings so many pleasant memories for me. I was fortunate to have worked with Steve many years with Cummins security department. Steve brought us all his gift of knowledge, hard work ethic, witt, humor, and true friendship. I have nothing but fond memories of Steve. He enjoyed people and Steve was a joy to be around. If you knew Steve, he like to pull pranks. There was hardly a dull moment when around Steve. If there wasn’t anything going on, Steve created some action to go on. It is unfortunate that I hadn’t seen Steve much since my retirement. I’m so sorry for your loss Megan. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I have known Steve for over 50 years and have a lot if respect and love for him. He use to be my brother in law and we shared many good times. My children, Danny and Christy,, thought the world of him.. He will be missed by many.
Always made me laugh and always made me smarter by spending time listening to me and giving me advice for my issues in life. There was never one time he denied helping me. Greatly missed and never forgotten. We will meet again in due time, old friend.

Thanks for you help on the phone in in our monthly meeting. Support sells and your were a great salesman. Rest in Peace …….. Steve M
A massive hole in the knowledge base of the universe just opened up. Working with Steve for the last 20 + years has taught me that he was the voice of sanity in an insane environment. The pearls of wisdom that he freely handed out were a blessing to all who had the opportunity to work with him. I am honored to have been able to call him friend and am thankful for the guidance he imparted to me over the years.

I am so sorry for the loss of Steve. I knew him in high school and ran into him on occasion when I was still in Columbus. Loved his sense of humor and smile, he will be surely missed. Prayers for the family, God bless.
Steve was the most lovable person I have ever met, a knowledge treasure and always available to guide me on personal/professional front like a fatherly figure. He made me comfortable enough to speak about anything and everything and we spent hours sharing our stories and culture. That matters a lot for me who is away from home and family. He liked to make people around him happy & keep smiling by providing his pearls of wisdom, humor, and sarcasm. I am really blessed & honored to meet a dynamic and most lively person like Steve. I have a lot of respect and love for him. I will always miss him as someone who provided true care & warmth in friendship. I am deeply thankful for the guidance and knowledge that he imparted to me.

Steve was a very nice person! Went to school with him.
That I missed this I didn’t realize they were sick. My heart goes out to you. I unfortunately have been ill for a few years now and I think the Covid just about finished me off. I am in hospice care. I know what it feels like to lose a husband to this dreadful disease. When I last Chuck. My heart goes out to you. I love you and miss you
