Condolence: Steve was my best friend growing up in STT. I am so glad I got to see him and catch up a few years ago.

Condolence: Margaret - So sorry for your loss! While we never met Steve personally (since he was sick during our visit) we knew that after talking to you that he was in good company. We're happy that you were able to celebrate 40 years together!
- With love from Nashville, Tenn.
Tyler and Jennifer Burns

Condolence: Margret,

I was impressed by the way you and Steve were dealing with his illness when I saw you this past summer. He did not deserve the hand that was dealt him, and neither did you or Stephanie, but you all handled it extremely well. He will be missed and remembered by many.
We will always have many fond memories.

Jan and Richard Brooks

Condolence: So sad to see someone who was a true gentleman have to suffer as Steve did.
We worked on many jobs together and he was always very positive and professional.
It is often said that people will be truly missed and those words definitely apply to Steve.
Our sincere condolences,
Jim & Sandy Smyth

Condolence: Steve was a fine individual and worked for years as the electrician for Rocktide. We could always count on him to respond quickly to electrical problems big or small. We always knew he was a loyal friend. We will miss him and our hearts go out to Margaret and Stephanie.

Condolence: Hello extended Branch family. Our family appreciates how Stephan left seashells for my wife a few years back after noticing my wife’s collection while he worked on our cabin in Sprucewold. He brought our children cookies Margaret made, and went out of his way to be kind even when he was ill. He always asked about the girls when I saw him. We are fortunate to have gotten to spend time with him. When we last visited in August, he went straight for his workshop and picked several nice keepsakes for the girls, allowing them to choose their own shells and feathers from his collection. Those are nice memories. Love, the Thorps
