Sending my condolences to all of Steve's family during this time. In the time that I knew him, he was such a loving, caring, and hardworking man! I have never met anyone so passionate about the work they do. Steve had so much love for his grandkids, and I had the privilege of meeting him! He will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences to all of Steve's family. It was a shock to learn of Steve's passing through the LFP announcement. We were able to connect through many dealings with collectables and even though it was a long time ago, I recall found memories of those times. Ellen, a special prayer of peace and comfort for you. Keith Johnston
Sending our condolences to Andrew and your entire family during this hard time.
My best memories of Christmas at Gramma And Grandpa Rimbault's house was when Steve showed up. Big smiles and lots of jokes. The cousins took over the living room. It looks like Steve has made the most of his life. Lots of family friends and a really interesting career.
A chance meeting with Steve several years ago resulted in both our friendship and fraternal connection. So sorry for your loss, Judi. Steve was a thoughtful and caring guy and he will surely be missed.
Judi ,so sorry for your loss, we never saw Steve when he wasn’t smiling ,he will be missed by all who knew him .
Heartfelt condolences to Judy and all of the Rimbault family. Steve was a special person and friend, wise, thoughtful, generous and caring. We were fortunate to share a little piece of his life, and will forever keep him in our thoughts, and cherish our friendship.
I have known Steve for close to 60 years and always considered him a good friend. He always had a positive outlook and we shared some good times over the years. Later in life we were able to reconnect and share laughs about our youth. Steve was a generous man and cared about those less fortunate, a good man indeed! Rest easy my friend.
Steve’s presence was a gift to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His radiant smile had a way of brightening even the darkest days, and his uplifting spirit was a source of comfort and strength. No matter what challenges life brought, Steve had this remarkable ability to make me feel that, somehow, everything would be okay. He carried an unwavering optimism and warmth that left a lasting imprint on me. I will miss him dearly—his laughter, kindness, and sense of calmness. Though he is no longer with us, his light will continue to shine in my memories and heart as I’m certain it will for those who loved him. Rest in peace, Steve. You will always be deeply cherished.
My condolences Judy with the loss of Steve. I know he leaves a special place in many hearts.

Judi. We just heard about Steves passing. We are so sorry for your loss. High schools memories of Steve and Dan playing saxophone in the band, along with Steve helping my dad clean out his house bring a smile. And finally after many years of knowing Sue, realizing that Steve and Sue were siblings. Blessings to you Judi. Take care.
