Condolence From Dan Purtill

Last week I was at Camp Northwoods Scout camp in Lupton. 900 or so scouts from around the world attended for an International event. Steve was there in spirit as he was in 1962 when the camp opened. The camp is now closed but the memories of Steve and the work he did to improve the camp and scouting will be long remembered. The scout chapel was one of Steve's most precious activities. Blessings to him and family at this 1 year anniversary. Miss you buddy.

Kathy, I was so sorry to hear about your dad's death. I haven't seen him in over 10 years. I always enjoyed visiting with him at the MFDA District meetings. He was always just a happy friendly person to be around.

After high school, Steve went to Chicago to college to persue Medicine. I went to work for Gorsline funeral home in Lansing. One weekend when Steve came home he came out to the FH and visited. Some time later he decided to persue that profession. I did not stay in the business then. Some years later I went to the Palmer Bush FH where Steve was now licensed. After two years I decided to go into Law Enforcement. I think the most fun I had with Steve in the profession was when he worked for Staffan FH in Ann Arbor and we ran an ambulance service. U of M sure provided us with lots of ambulance runs. On a different note, during high school Steve was a leader to get Scout life guards to help with a monthly swim session for the school for the blind. These kids would never had that experience were it not for Steves efforts. Steve was working at a funeral home in Midland during the building of the chapel seen in the photos attached. Steve did so much in his life time to benefit others. Rest in Peace Steve.

I also met Steve in Florida. He was so sweet to arrange our stay in his cousin's beautiful condo one winter. I know he will be missed by his many friends and family. Rest in peace Steve. You fought a long, hard battle. Yet you continued to smile when friends came to call.

Steve was an old friend from our times in the Boy Scouts and Order of the Arrow. We spent many a Saturday in his parents home on Richards St eating his mothers bread and having teen age fun. We shared jobs at Camp Kiroliex near Jackson, and enjoyed good times and lots of memories. I'm sure he is in a better place now, and that his family will remember him fondly. May all of your memories be as positive as mine.
