My deepest sympathy to Carolyn,Karen,Kris,Jacob&Hannah. I met Steve the summer of '86 working at Birdland Swimming Pool. I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Steves passing. I saw him at Bob's visitation, and talked to him a little bit. I introduced Steve to my son, Spencer, who was adopted at birth. Spencer is 4. Steve will definitely be missed. We hadn't been in touch in recent years, but had spent time together after meeting at Birdland. Steve was a wonderful person, and is now with has Father and his Heavenly Father. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Lisa (Burgett) Gift

My deepest sympathy to all of the Armstrong family and friends who are mourning the loss of Stephen. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
I'd only known Steve a short time. I guess four or five months. I mostly got to know him while talking to him on the phone. I loved hearing his voice and listening to him tell stories, and Steve, well, he loved to talk. He told me all kinds of stories about growing up,high school, college, his travels, places he'd lived, different jobs he'd had, and his family. He loved you guys so much, and was so proud of his niece and nephew. He talked a lot about his dad, and how much he missed him.
One thing that tickled me so much about Steve was he got so excited about things. Even little things, and everything was "Awesome" or "Incredible." One of my favorite things was on Saturday afternoons he would call me and tell me about the "incredible" deals he made at the farmersmarket on breads, eggrolls, and other things.
I never met anyone that I felt so comfortable being around. The man never knew a stranger, and he wasn't afraid to speak his mind. I really admired this about him.
Steve touched my heart in so many ways. He was my friend, but he meant more to me then that. I cared for him and loved him so much. I miss him terribly!
I don't really understand what happend to him. I thought he was just sick with a flu or bug.
My heart goes out to all of you.
With Sympathy,
Ann

I first met Steve in the late 1970's. He was a friend of my older brother Mark Grohe. I have no memory of Steve not smiling. He was always glad to see you, was always welcoming and open, was ever ready with a high five or a hearty handshake and his perennial greeting of "Hey brother! What's up?" Even though I was a kid, two years younger, Steve always made me feel like an equal.
I will miss him. My sincerest condolences to you for your loss.

Deepest condolences to your family. I did not know Steve well, but began talking with him via Facebook some this year. I'm saddened to hear of his passing. God bless your family.
