It has been my privilege to know Steve almost as long as I have known Angie. He has always been a great guy and a wonderful brother-in-law. We celebrated every major holiday at his and Kim's house for many years, and we appreciate their hospitality and good cooking. I may never again enjoy cream of crab soup as good as his, but I will cherish his memory forever.

I have so many wonderful childhood memories of us growing up at Aunt Lizzie house, watching slide showes, climbing the clay hills, Easter egg hunts in Uncle Johns rose garden, camping with our Moms and wonderful get togethers during the holidays. One of my funniest memories in hinesite was the day I snuck (stole) Steve skateboard and was riding up the street when the skateboard got away from me and it went under a moving car (oops). I was so afraid to go home and tell Stevie that I totaled his skateboard. But my cousin didn't get mad or hollar at me. He was always kind compassionate and forgiving. My thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Mary, Kim and the girls. Love Barbara

I wish there were words that I could say that would help in what your are feeling right now, unfortunately I know first hand that there aren't any. I can only offer you my thoughts and prayers and ask that God keep you in his hands. I had one friend who wrote me and said "God is close to the broken hearted, Lean on Him and Trust in Him, he is there for you. My heartfelt sympathy and Love, Aunt Charlene

All I know is my cousin Stevie learned how to make Aunt Lizzie's Italian Wedding cake, which was the hi-lite of many celebrations at Aunt Liz's!! If I had the recipe I would shurely make one and eat it as a celebration of all the wonderful times we all had as kids. From the beach, to the Thanksgivings at Aunt Mary's, when we had to extend the table into Aunt Mary's living room because my mom kept having kids every 3 years! HA! Being a widow now myself, I have learned to celebrate the LIFE of those that have passed on. My love, hugs and prayers are with all the family. Kay

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Stephen. I heard about this in the MSJ alumni news letter. I use to sit with Steve in the mornings before class in the Cafeteria. He was a fine man and dedicated to doing the best he could. He was a friend. He made you want to better yourself. I am so sorry and will keep the Trageser family in my prayers.
