Brian you hold that Danielle tight and NEVER let go! Forever, ur friend and adopted " auntie"..Brenda Ishmael
I’m so sorry for the passing of your father, grandfather, husband, and brother. Steve was such a great guy. Loved those boys of his but sure some of my grey hair may be a result of teaching them. Steve help me so many times with my cars, he and Lawrence would keep the wheels rolling for my kid’s cars and mine. Prayers for all of you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Smallman family, during this difficult time and the days ahead. Steve started his family 2 streets over from where Larry Stevens and I started ours, many fond memories of those streets in Bay.

We are so very sorry for your loss.
My condolences to the family during this time. Steve was a fine man, and I always considered him a friend. I’ve known the family for a very long time, practically my entire life, and worked with Steve for a little over a year. I’ll always remember the fun times we had working together. There was always some mischief going on among us at the shop. Rest easy, old friend. Remembered always.
My dear cousin. I will miss your sweet voice and compassionate love of others.
Always there with love and
helping everyone. Such a pure soul.
.
Prayer for the family and love.
Vickie, I am so sorry about Steve. In my mind he’s still that rowdy kid keeping things lively at BHS. I’m sure there will be lots of smiles and stories, even in your grief.
I had heard he was ill but had no idea things had progressed this much. Prayers for all of you.
No pain no sickness , you and Danny made a lot of memories for me.You will be missed so much. Give hugs and kisses to Karen and my girls and all the loved ones.Reach down and show Mary & Vickie that you will always be near. Love you, Steve
Rest easy my little brother. You won’t be forgotten. You left a lot of good memories and quite a story for the rest of us. A good example. Always love you
Prayers and hugs for the Smallman family.
