Steve was an amazing guy. I do think about him often. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He made you feel loved, honored and a part of the group-included. He had rare and unique qualities. I miss him; I can only imagine the depth and breadth to which his family misses him-what a gaping hole that must be. God bless him-God bless his family, most especially Bonnie and his kids.

Steve was one of the most funny people we have ever known; always had the best jokes. Just a real upright guy, glad to have known him and he will be missed. Thanks for upgrading "our" beloved Hospitality House. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bonnie and family.

I will so miss the "Mackinisms". Steve always had the best jokes, usually real groaners. Just one of the many reasons he will be missed.

Bonnie, kids and grandkids,  When I sent the poem about the aspens, little did I know that Steve would leave for heaven so soon after the aspens had just shared their glorious blaze of golden color.Steve was courageous in life and was just as courageous in death......leaving this earth in a beautiful blaze of glory!  I doubt you ever knew this, but I grew to love you both.  then.....now.....and`always.  
With continual prayers for all of you,  Marie Seitzinger

Some friendships are forged in stone...as a Graduate of the Imperial Hotel Classes of 1967, '68,'69, and '70, my friendship & love for Steve followed me as I lived & traveled all over this litte planet. We could pick up a conversation after years, like it had been yesterday... Very few Friendships like that... Neither of us were violent men, but the only Bar Fight I've ever been in was with Steve at my side! Rest In Peace Brother....
