Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I worked with Steve remotely from the California office for the last 13 years. Its with heavy hear that I hear about his passing. My prayers are with you all. He will be missed. He was a great man, always patient and kind. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Ashley, I am so sorry for your loss. With your great faith in God, he will comfort you in this time of need. Keep the memories close to your heart. Call if you need anything. Love you Love, Robin
I worked with Steve for 23 years during my time with Carl Zeiss. Steve was terrific company to have around me either on a job or after hours. We spent many dinners discussing the pride he had in his daughters which was only equal to the pride he had in his golf game. Steve was a polished professional that insisted on doing his job correctly at all times. I have many great memories of my travels throughout the US with Steve and I will treasure them for the rest of my life. Thank You Steve for the companionship you gave me during the Zeiss period of my life. Deepest Condolences, Bill Ericksen
My condolences go to the family of Mr. Coon. It is never easy to cope with the loss of a loved one, but God does give us hope! At Revelations 213,4 God promises that in the future death will be no more. Imagine what a wonderful time this will be! I hope this message leaves you with comfort in the times to come.
Steve always had a smile as we talked with him while he worked in the yard or walked in the neighborhood. The smile was an invitation to take part in his engaging manner. We miss you neighbor. Things are just not the same.
