To the Lippe and Palumbo families,
I am so deeply saddened by the passing of a long time friend Steve. As I sit here having read your obituary, it brings back memories from our younger days when we first met through Peter and the introductions made to the love of your life Laurie. Steve you will be remembered as funny, full of jokes, always laughing, giving hugs, and having a kind heart willing to give anything including a simple authentic smile.
I’m thankful that together with Laurie, for the big hearts in accepting the role of god-parents to Liisa and Mitchel, you provided love, caring, fun, and above all an interest in their lives.
We had many good times taking van trips to the USA, boat rides and fishing, saunas, Christmas parties, numerous visits for a coffee and catching up in our busy lives, you will be missed in our lives.
Laurie, Stephanie and Emilie, my heart hurts for all of you and I wish you peace in your time of sorrow and sadness.
Steve, Rest now in peace my dear friend.
Love and hugs to all of you,
Maarit (Mary) Steinwedel
