ADAM LUBARSKY - 2 MARCH 2008

If there is anything that I can do up in Connecticut please let me know. Many friends of Steve's would love to pay there respects. This seems only proper in that Steve was a true friend to many of us.

ANN & JOHN LYNCH - 2 MARCH 2008

Both John and I are so saddened by this news. I think on one hand we all felt that Steve's injuries were so severe and so devastating that we wondered what kind of life awaited him and what the quality would be, and then again, it was Steve and we couldn't lose hope that there would be a miracle. I have to say I was beginning to think he was going to make it, against all the odds that I know existed. The news of his passing surprisingly shocked me. We have all lost a very good friend and a good person in this world. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

NYLA & RUSS MUELLER - 2 MARCH 2008

Just spoke to Eric and Ma about Cousin Steven’s passing... Thinking of you. You may be as shocked and sad as I am. (maybe there are other feelings, too.) I’ve been sending prayers to Steven and your family up to now, plus others are praying too. If prayers are not your bag, just translate them into continued good wishes and MUCH COMFORT to you. In the recent past, I’ve seen comfort come to me in ways that only I understand. (The comforts I’ve received in many cases, would not make sense to someone else.)

EDWINA KOMINSKI COOKE - 3 MARCH 2008

My deepest sympathy, support and love goes out to all of you. Sometimes God works in the best of ways. He'll have no more pain or suffering, no troubled soul. I guess when he takes the best he leaves the rest-to carry on-until another time. So Steven's belief will be proven in him. I believe he'll be back in another way, another form, and we'll sense a familiarity in that presence. I also believe he's not yet done, has left unfinished business, so we will sense him from time to time.

ROBIN TINKHAM - 3 MARCH 2008

I am really at a loss for words right now, but please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

LORI WITHALL - 3 MARCH 2008

I am so sorry to learn that Steve passed away. Although I am immensely sad at the thought of never seeing him or talking to him again, I can't help but to feel that he would have suffered too much had he lived.

I would like to thank you for adding me to your e-mail list and keeping me (us) posted on Steve's daily progress these past few weeks. I especially enjoyed all of the photos you attached. My thoughts are with you, your father and of course Steve's daughter. I had the opportunity to see them together often when she was little and his love for her was immeasurable. Steve meant a lot to me and to my husband Bob and we will miss him.

STEVE WALL - 5 MARCH 2008

My thoughts have been with you these last few days having received the shocking news about Steve. I often hesitate to respond to situations until I can compose some imagined, literate response that will somehow magically make it all make sense. Well, I am left with nothing but friendship and sympathy for what must be an agonizing loss for you. There is an Irish saying about "God makes the back to fit the burden" so you must be a very strong person because you have had more than your fair share of late. Best thoughts and prayers go to you from us

CAROL D'AMICO - 25 MARCH 2008

My name is Carol and i was an old friend of Steve's. I worked at the Georgetown Saloon in the 80's and Adam Lubarsky had me on the distribution list for all of Steve's updates during the month of February.

I didn't want to write you sooner because of everything you are dealing with, but hope that this is an ok time to write. My memories of Steve are so strong and cried every single day when i heard the news immediately after the accident. I saw from your emails that you live in Pasadena, i live here in CA too, in Aliso Viejo (orange county). I have been here for 19 years. And the last time i saw Steve was in 2003 and had i known he was coming out here to visit you, i would have harrassed him to call me while he was here :)

I put a small webpage together in memory of Steve and i have about 7 pictures of him. One of them (the last pic) is with his ex-wife whose name escapes me. The picture was taken at T's wedding and the year escapes me too - i think it was either 1996 or 1997. But i didn't put her name there cause i didn't know it. I thought you might like to see these great pictures of Steve that i have.

If there's a memorial for Steve in CT at some point, there's a chance i may be able to make it. In the meantime, i just wanted to send you my condolences and my thoughts are heavy in my heart for Steve's daughter/family and yours. Here is the link: http://www.geocities.com/carolschiefer/SteveSmollin1 Feel free to contact me if you wish. My strongest memory of Steve is his laugh.
