GUEST BOOK

We encourage you to share your personal condolences and stories of Steven Gerald Shiffman below and we will share them with the family.

Dear Jan, Wendy and family,

Our entire family sends loving thoughts and condolences on the loss of our dear cousin, Steven. In the early years, Larry and Steven, about 5 years apart, grew up together. He remained an important part our lives and the expanded Daks family life because Max, Larry's dad, was Steven's god father, and was remembered for undertaking this honor annually on father's day. Steven was a caring individual who loved family. It was always a pleasure to see Steve and Jan each time we visited Chicago. May his memory be a blessing. Love, Nong, Larry, and Jenny and Mitch and children

Nong and Larry Daks
