Miss you so much little brother…never enough time

Zane misses you. I asked him if he wants to talk. He tells me you are a secret. He gets all serious. I worry about him. I miss you too. We’ve got a great boy. He’s alot like you. Friendly, personable. Any time he and I are out I hear that.  If he spends time without me I hear the same. I hope you are at piece. Watch over him. He needs you.

To the entire Buckholz family,
I was shocked to here of the news of Steve’s passing. Just last week my father and I were talking of a trip to Florida we took as a family. It turned out you were in Florida the same time and Steve called our hotel early in the morning as if we were still back in Verona. Steve said" Hello is Paul there?" As my father answered the phone he couldn’t remember where we were. It was just one of those funny moments in life. I will always cherish my memories growing up with Steve. Grammar School thru High School he was a big part of my life. Sleep-overs, Cub Scouts, setting the woods on fire, pitching a tent in the back yard, riding our bikes all over Essex County. It’s a shame as we grow we lose touch with the special people in our life. When I think of my childhood there is no way for me to separate my memories from Steve. He is in my earliest recollection growing up in Verona. Steve was always a loyal and faithful friend and someone who I’ll never forget. It was always Steve Buckholz, Glenn Burnett, and Paul Emma, the three ‘Amigos.’ We were always together. It’s just sad to have it end so suddenly. It’s such a small world I probably wouldn’t have heard of this accident if it were not for my brother Steve and his family who moved to Lancaster Pa about 25 years ago. My sister-in-law Geri heard of Steve’s accident. As it turns out I think Steve lived only a few blocks from my niece Jessica. I would love to hear more of what happened and if any of the family would like to contact me that would be wonderful. You can reach me at pemma1@verizon.net or home phone 973 228-8707 Caldwell NJ.
Again, I am so sorry for the sudden loss, it’s a sad day when these tragedies happen, and hard to figure out what the Lord’s plan is. But I will keep you all in my prayers and hope for God’s love for all of you.
With loving memories

Deepest sympathies to his family and Zane.
we met at john herr’s and spent the time he wasn’t with Zane with Sam and I. Zane was his world. Steve was a hilarious, caring and loving guy.

I wish I knew sooner and got to say goodbye.
Love you and miss you so much <3

Steve was one of my best friends.  I worked with Steve at John Herrs for almost a year.  He was loving father and cared about his son deeply.  He will be greatly missed.

Sincere sympathy to Steve Buckholz’s family, friends, and his beloved son Zane.
We at John Herr’s knew Steve as a kind and caring friend, who never had a bad word for anyone. He was a doting father who put Zane above all else.
We will miss him.

Sincerely,
Cindy Bishop

Deepest sympathy to the family and especially to Zane!

 I met Steve at John Herr’s and I will never forget the day that we met.  Steve had just started there a few days beforehand and we were both in the breakroom on lunch break.  Steve was just sitting there, reading the paper and I was eating lunch.  I had asked him why he wasn’t eating lunch and he said that he was saving money so he could see his son Zane.  So, I had shared my lunch with him.  It was that day that we formed a bond as friends.  Steve was such a kind, loving person and his son Zane was his world.  Steve touched the lives of so many people and he will be greatly missed!  He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts!
 We find comfort in knowing that God had his reasons and that Steve is home with his heavenly father.

 Karen Bross and family

Our deepest sympathy to your family, especially Zane.  I met Steve through my daughter, who was one of his closest friends.  His son was his life and he was a wonderful father.  He is missed by many whose lives he profoundly touched.  He was a giving, sweet gentle spirit and had a heart for the Lord.
Although a tragic loss, I am comforted by the fact that I know he is with The Father in Heaven.

Steve was a Columbia PA neighbor of ours for several years.  He was always friendly and had an upbeat attitude.  He was such a good,loving father to Zane!!  Our sincere condolences to his family in New Jersey, and to Megan and her family…but,especially, to sweet Zane.

Love,
Carol, LeeAnne and our family.
