A kind and gentle soul
I worked with Steve at Staples when I first joined the company in 2005. He was such a positive team member and a great person just to be around. He will be sorely missed by his extended Staples family.
May your soul go in peace
Dan, I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I know you must be so proud of him for the precious gift he gave to others by being an organ donor. I love you. Em
Steve\’s personality was larger than life. I worked with him at Staples, and only recently learned he had returned to the call center. We were so excited to catch up with each other! His smiling face, amazing voice, and infectious personality will truly be missed. My thoughts are with you during this time.
Dan, unfortunately there are no words that can really comfort you at this time. My heart hurts for you and what you must be going through, which I can\’t even imagine. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Please know we are here for you and will help in any way we can. We love you, Kristin and Blake

Forever in our hearts.
