Dear Terry and Family,
I was so incredibly sorry to hear of Steve's passing. All my memories of him and your family are so bright, happy and positive. He was an integral part of the Owasippe history and personnaly helped me time and again to be a better scout, professional and person. He was always creative, always energetic and most of all, always positive.
My families prayers will be with you all. He was a great man and made the lives of countless people better!!!
With all my sympathy,

Dear Terry & Family;
I do not know where to begin. I'm sure I will not tell you anything new about what a great person "Junior" was.
He will live forever in all of the hearts that he has touched including mine.
Remember, "Nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much."
You are all in my prayers.
Your "baby" cousin,
Barbara

I am truly sorry for the Horvath family's loss. I will always remember Mr. Horvath's dedication to Owasippe and it's...his staff.

I am sad, all of Owasippe is sad, everybody is sad. The world is now a lesser place without Steve. We were all blessed to have known him and I am so happy to have had him as a friend. He was so supportive behind the scenes, and sometimes very much in the forefront! What a loss to his dear Family, and to us, all of his friends. His influence continues on, in many ways. I will always treasure his laughter and his great sense of humor, as well as his tenderness, sensitivity, and caring. My love and condolences to Terry, and to all the wonderful Horvath Family. Bill Schaefer, Sr.
