Dear Steve and family,
I’m sorry for your loss.  I worked for Steve at the CYA right after college.  He was truly a role model of an effective and kind leader.

I am so sorry for your loss but hope you find peace in all the great memories you have. Your dad sounded like a very actualized guy.

Those of us who frequently use F&M’s ASFC will miss Steve terribly. He was so friendly and interesting. We always loved to Steve at the desk or working out upstairs.

My condolences to the family.  I worked with Steve for many years when I was with the School District of Lancaster.  We did a lot of “agency coordination” projects over the years.  When I lived on Bausman Drive, I was little league coach and young Steve was on my team along with my son – Rob.  Steve was a great person and I know he will be missed.

Steve was a very enjoyable person to be around (always).   He always asked how you were doing.    I loved interacting with him whenever our paths crossed.   I loved hearing stories about Hungary.   He will be missed but I know he is going to heaven in an express elevator.  Tom and Kathy Larkin

Mrs. Sohonyay, Steve, and Simon,
So sorry for your loss.  I always enjoyed listening to Mr. Sohonyay read the scriptures at church and have fond memories of him cheering for us on the baseball sidelines.  He will be missed and is in my prayers. Ed Krow

Dear Re, My thoughts are with you and your family after the sudden passing of Steve.  I mainly talked with him at the F&M pool where he was always friendly. When some friends of mine returned from Hungary with 2 tins of paprika, I thought of Steve and you and brought one tin into ASFC to give to him-he really liked that.  The obituary showed how he dedicated his life to helping others (I had not known what he had done earlier). That is an excellent photo of Steve.  Shawn Carty provided the link to the obituary in an e-mail to FSA, and I am grateful for that as I no longer get the local paper.

I worked with Steve at the Welfare Office in recent years.  He was a kind and interesting man.  One year, I had a bad cold that I just couldn’t shake.  He gave me his “Hungarian recipe for colds,” and it really alleviated my cold symptoms!  If anyone needs his “recipe,” I still have it!   My condolences to the family.  He was a wonderful person.

So very sorry for the great loss to the Sohonyay family. As a CYA employee, I have so many fond memories of Steve. He was a wonderful person to work for and I will always remember his smile and the accent he swears he didn’t have.

Dear Mrs. Sohonyay, Steve & Simon,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband & father. It was a great pleasure to see him again last April for Bert’s 40th birthday after many years. Thank you to all of you for being a support for Ray before his passing, and then being there all these years for Bert since then. You are truly a great family and my prayers and sympathy are with you all.  
Love, Amy (Childs) Nicholls xoxo
