Nick you were always watching and looking and learning about all that was around you. You braved through a lot of things. Without complaint or anger. Wished we could of talked more. I know you are watching now, certainly, I know you wish to speak to your daughters. You have missed so much, but yet I know you have been there for them.. We all miss you. With love your cousin Barb

I have missed you for so long and now you are really gone. For so many years you advised me, laughed with me and confided in me. I loved our fishing trips together and the way we could listen to each other, eat bologna sandwiches and just be ourselves. I'm hanging on to that.

your little sister, Jane

So glad we have a video of old home
movies incl. "Michigan 1963" of Nick
when he was a little kid feeding
our cows and pigs on our Sodus farm
that I got saved from the new US-31.
I have not seen him since.
From his aunt everyone calls "Ginger."

My condolences and prayers for the Steiner family. Nick was the best mechanic ever! I used to take my car to his father and continued when Nick took over the business. I admired his honesty and integrity. He'll be greatly missed!
