James E. Steffen “Tiny”

Dear Steffen family, please accept my condolences during your time of sorrow. Tiny was a good man and dear friend to my family. He was especially close to my dad Pat. I’ve heard many stories of how they played ball beginning in their grade school days down in Covington. In more recent times Tiny called my Dad on the phone about 6 days out of 7 just to check in. I think the only reason he didn’t call on the 7th day was because they had plans to see each other. I know Tiny had a long call list and appreciate that my Dad was on it. It brightened his days. I’m also glad I had the chance to visit with Tiny when I was in Nky last November. I reached out to him as much as I could when I was in town and he always made time for my call if we didn’t manage to meet in person. He told me a funny joke every time we met and he gave me permission to use them myself! I only wish I would have written them down; I could have a book by now. He was funny. Tiny will be missed by a great many people but we share in the joy of having known him and will remember him fondly. May God bless Tiny and all of you.
Kind regards,

I was sorry to hear of James’s passing. I met him a number of years ago when he and Tim and I met to discuss family history. We figured out we were 3rd cousins.

At this time I pray for all of Tiny’s children and family! Tiny was a good person in many ways, I’m sure he is in heaven and enjoying the joys of it along with seeing all the many family members that have past before us! I’m sure they are having one hell of a great card party and drinking their beer!!

I am so very sorry for your loss. May all your memories keep him alive in your heart! Love & Prayers, Mary Jo Menning

To the Steffen Family- we are thinking of you as you cope with the sadness of not having Tiny here with you all. He was truly one of a kind, with a big sense of humor and a bigger heart.
He’s home with the Father and his devoted wife Taffy and all his old buddies who’ve proceeded him to the Promise Land.
Your memories of him and his stories of the past will live in each of you today and in the future. He will be with you all everyday in your hearts. Godspeed Tiny.
