I served with Steve in Vietnam. Air Force, Bien Hoa air base. We survived two ground attacks and at least 15-20 rocket attacks. I lost count. We were in the same barracks, hung out together on a daily basis. We always got along. Never a dull moment with him.
I, myself, have been battling cancer for the last seven years. Chemo, radiation, surgery took care of 4 of the cancers, one is in remission until recently. All cancers can be traced to exposure of Agent Orange. We were in a bad place at a bad time.
We lost track of each other over the years. I think of him every now and then. Especially on Veterans Day.
Miss you

I met Steve in Chicago.   Many years ago.   He had a heart bigger than his body but he was troubled by the Vietnam war.   It ate him.  Took me probably 6 years before he would discuss it.   I could tell some of his stories out there but they were not pleasant.   I just today aug. 23,2023 looked for any info on him, because I miss him.   I was thinking of friends of the past.   For as big as he was, he was a big huggable teddy bear.  This coming from a man.   I was hoping he was still alive so I could maybe find a way to call him.  I knew his body probably wouldn’t hold out this long but I was hopeful.   He told me about Maria a couple of times, and said he was really happy.   He deserved that and I hope Maria was happy too.   He was truly one of my dearest friends.   I would have said this 10 years ago….had I known.    Love you Steve.    KJ

Dear Maria,
So sorry to hear of the loss of our old friend Steve.  I will always remember him as the respected professional and all around good guy that he was; he will surely be missed.  Although taken from us too soon, I hope he found peace and joy in his retirement years.  Please accept my deepest condolences to you and the family and may God bless Steve’s eternal soul.

Sincerely,
Steve Kurtis, former Eon Labs employee

Dear Maria,

My deepest sympathies on your loss, from me and all of your friends at Eon. 
I always found Steve to be a caring, altruistic, compassionate person who strived to do the best for people, and in that way, both of you were clearly alike, and hence, were great for one another.  I hope you can find strength in the love of those close to you in your time of need — always know there are many people in Laurelton who think fondly of you and are keeping you in prayer during this very difficult time.

Again, my condolences to you and your family.

Love,
Christopher Aupperlee
