    My heart is heavy because of your loss. Your love for animals was instilled in Steve at an early age. And he cared so much for those animals. I often think back at some of the good times we all had growing up together.

    To Steve's Family and Friends,

    Steve's deep devotion to the animals in his care and his career commitment to wildlife conservation, were inspiring and touching. He was a friend and zoo colleague many, many years ago, but I will miss him like I saw him yesterday - I wish I had. To his dear family and closest friends, I hope you can find comfort in knowing how much he helped the animals of the world, and that he will always be remembered.

    With heartfelt condolences, Joyce Turner
