Welcome

Stevewaite.org is a memorial site to remember and celebrate my father’s life.

Celebration of Life

We will hold a celebration of my father’s life when it is safe to travel and gather in large groups again. (*UPDATE: 8/26/21 We will hold the celebration of Steve’s life on April 30th, 2022 at our family home in Towson MD. Please save the date and we hope to see as many of my dad’s friends and family members as possible. This event was too important for us to rush the planning so we have settled on the 2nd anniversary of his passing, and it gives people plenty of time to plan their trips/reserve the day to celebrate Steve.)

Information regarding the celebration will be posted here, so check back periodically or send me (Eric) an email.

I loved and adored you and I will miss my first and best friend for the rest of my life. You will live on in the memory of those who love you.

Eric Waite

You have been the love of my life and will always be.

My Dad once told me Steve did the work of a saint, and after going to work with Steve on one occasion, I was in total agreement. He implemented work plans and programs and gave all those discarded family members something to do, which led to a sense of accomplishment and being useful and needed, I’m sure. He treated all those patients with compassion and sincerity, and after everyone else wanted to discard them and leave them for somebody else to deal with. Lucky for them, that someone else was Steve.

Winter 2020/2021 Update

Steve loved Christmas. He would love to buy gifts for the people he cared about. He loved to shop anyway and the holidays were his chance to ‘shop until he dropped’! He even bought a tiny Santa cap for the Buddah statue in our garden. Steve was such a good friend and companion. I was the lucky recipient of his light-hearted outlook on life. I’ve been the worrier but Steve never worried. He enjoyed every day, lived by the saying ‘keep it simple’ and never failed to add his version of words to the English language! I laughed a lot with him. Steve had a big heart and freely gave of himself to family and friends.

I miss him so much!!
