Remembering a saint: Neil Steve Bonne

Born October 28, 1929 in Rockford, IL, son of Cornelius S. Bonne and Elizabeth B. Robertson, died peacefully July 28, 2006 at his home in Crystal Lake, IL, with the people he loved and who loved him.  An MBA Graduate of Northwestern University, Steve served in both the Navy and Marines and he was an executive in the food and coffee industries for 46 years.  His hobbies were golf, flying, boating, scuba diving, reading, crossword puzzles and cooking. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Virginia; daughter Marti; son Matt; grandchildren, Joey, Brittany and Stephen. A celebration of his life is being arranged. Memorial donations to the National Temporal Bone Registry, boston, MA; Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois, Chicago or McHenry Co.  PADS would be appreciated.

I watched the video of the memorial service (I was even permitted to say a few words).  It was a joyous thing, so many stories, so much love, so much respect.

We miss you Steve. And think often of you.
