Will miss your sense of humor, laugh and friendship but you will always be in our hearts. Keeping Marilyn and the family in our prayers. Go Yankees!
Words can not describe the sadness our family feels. Our family will NEVER be the same. We all will miss his wonderful smile and the stories he told with unparalleled humor. Steve had a big and generous heart. God bless his loving soul! 💔
We are so sorry for your loss. Steve was such a fun guy. His famous “I have my own sad story” is hanging in my kitchen, Your family is our prayers. RIP Steve.
I’m sorry for the loss of a “Good Man” Husband Father Friend. My long time friend may you Rest In Peace . I remember good times some 45 years ago when in. My condolences to the rest of his family.
I am deeply saddened to learn of Steve’s passing. I used to work in the office at Glenroy while Steve was employed there. He was one of the great guys with the best sense of humor and always had good stories to tell. Please know I am thinking of you, Marilyn, and your family and sending prayers your way.
Marilyn and family, I am so sorry for your loss! Steve was a great guy to be around at family gatherings. He seemed like a guy who didn’t want to be the center of attention and yet, because of his great personality and sense of humor, everyone gravitated toward him. I know that he touched many, many lives and I feel blessed to have known him. This is a sad day and the sad days will continue but know I am praying that God will comfort you and give you the peace that passes all understanding.
Ushered for years with Steven at Old Saint Mary’s in Milwaukee WI. Steven and his wife were wonderful. They were so nice and I am glad I knew them over the years. I was shocked when I saw he passed.on.. I watched his video on his life. It was beautiful. He is a great example how a person should live their lives. After I watched it I realized I have much to do to improve the way I live. God Bless the Roufus Family.
Marilyn amd family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Steve. He will be missed by all. I will miss his sense of humor and his unwavering love and devotion for his family. His memory will remain forever your hearts.
