My sincerest condolences
I was sad to hear this. Steve was a friend who was always kind. Him and I were close to the same age.
We worked at Lowe's together.
I remember after he retired he would always stop in and say hello.
After his wife went to be with the Lord, he told me that she always said “God's got this”. I said I would have to remember that. He loved
her so much, you could tell.
Steve will be greatly missed.
My condolences to the whole family. But just know now he's with his wife and that's where he wanted to be!!

Memories are to many to post here. But good memories for me from 6th grade on whether sports, class, or a gang of us at a drive in. Steve's smile and laugh was contagious. To me, his legacy to most everyone would be, “He was a good man.” Some highlights in my life include Steve Sinsel.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Steven. I attended the Union two room school house with Steven. So many memories. The ballgames, swings and merry-go-round that we enjoyed at recess. The pot bellied stove and the delicious lunches we had with his Mom being one of the cooks. The memories will always be in our hearts. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
My family is heavy hearted to hear that Steve has passed on. Steve you andyour whole family were beautiful people.you will be though of and missed
