To the Czigli family- I was so sad to hear about Mr. Czigli. I am sending lots of love and sympathy to you all.

Donna, Suzanne, Yvette and Steven:
Judy and I are so sad to learn of Steve’s passing. He was so brave and put up such a strong fight that we will all be inspired by his strong will and commitment to fight this awful disease. A kinder, more gentle and caring man was Steve. Our memories with the Czigli’s are few but all very special. We are fortunate to have spent some special times with Steve, with grand kids, in Mesa playing Hand and Foot and in London enjoying Steve’s native dinners. We will forever miss him.
Love to all,
Judy and Alan

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this very difficult time – Steve was a very special man – he built more birdhouses with the kids on Brompton Road than i can remember – sometiomes resulting in banged fingers AND not answering the daily calls for supper from many moms.

Dear Donna and family – I am so sorry for your loss, it is hard to find the words to express my feelings and thoughts.
I had meet Steve twice and he was truly a gentleman and a kind hearted man. Both times that I meet him he was smiling and so happy, this indicated to me that he was someone who enjoyed life and his family.
Donna you and I both know that your Steve and mine had to find a life for themselves in a country where they had to learn a new language and find a way to support themselves in their new lives.
Steve is an example to his children and grandchildren on how you take a situation and florish in that situation.
When you are ready we will get you out and walking, we all need the thearapy.
Hugs and kisses

To the Czigli Family, Our deepest symapthy for the loss of someone who left his mark on the world. Everytime we look at our wedding pictures we can’t help but think we had “The Steve Czigli” as our photographer. He had an exceptional talent for making everyone look great. Looking at the pictures of the grandchildren online we can only conclude – what a lucky man and what lucky grandchildren.

What sad news to hear last week. Although it’s been a while since our families have been able to get together, memories of ‘Uncle Steve’ came flooding back to me over the past few days. He was such a good friend to my Dad, and they sure did enjoy some great times together.
Your family is so a supportive and kind, and I know that although this time is difficult, the love and strength of character that Steve has shared throughout the years will help to carry you through.
What a blessing to have had the opportunity to know such a great man.
Sending you my love,
Colleen
