  1. I worked with Steve for many years at Structural Products/Structural Materials and he was ALWAYS a sincere, hardworking man who was honest to a fault. He was a true gentlemen that especially enjoyed his nieces and nephews and loved to talk about them.

  2. Ditto what G B says about Steve. He was a great employee and would do anything you asked of him Rest in peace Steve

  3. My deepest condolences to Steve’s family. I was a classmate and always remember him as a great person.

  4. I met Steve through his brother, John. I was invited to play on the same bowling team as the Remmen boys. I think I played on the same team for about 6 years. The first time I met Steve, everybody was calling him “Lurch”. I thought he’d tall and skinny so his name must something to do with his physical attributes. Then I saw him bowl for the first time, I got it right away. His approach was one of a kind. I don’t think I ever saw him angry or upset. He lived life to the fullest and he cared deeply for his family. Steve left his mark in many people and I am truly grateful to have known him. This world needs more people like him. God Bless!!!
