Condolences to the Petner family. I was lucky to meet Steve through the WT women’s softball league. He was a great addition to our league and a fair ump. He brought a smile and a kind word for everyone each week. Steve spoke often of his family and it was easy to see how much he loved each of you. He will be missed for sure on the field on Thursdays! May your memories of him carry you through this most difficult time.

I was saddened to learn about Steve's departure. I have coached WTPR baseball and basketball for 10 years at several age groups and have always found Steve, "ref", "blue" to be fair and ALWAYS looking out for the youth. No one comes to a game to watch the officials but when you were there you realized he more than that. He was an official, mentor, parent, grandparent, coach and more than anything, a decent person. I was fortunate enough to have known him 32 minutes or 7 innings at a time. For those that had more, God bless you - you were lucky. We are all lucky to have known him
RoseAnne (Canavatchel) Scanlin left a message on April 6, 2020:
Karen - My sincerest sympathy to you & your entire family. May God be very near to you & bring comfort & peace to you & your loved ones in the coming days & years. Love, RoseAnne
Michael McCoy left a message on April 5, 2020:
Karen, on behalf of the McCoy family, we would like to express our deepest condolences to you and your family! The world lost a beautiful soul, but heaven gained an angel! May God continue to bless your family during your time of sorrow!

Kristina Kane left a message on April 5, 2020:
Thank you for being my brother and Justin and Jakes uncle and hero. You lived a life that fit in more in 58 years than most will see. Me and the boys will make sure the family is supported and loved like always. I wish you could have met our new dog. We finally got a good one and I feel like you sent him to us. We love you.

Brother Petner will be sorely missed. I was just starting to get to know him. I will miss him but I know I will see him again.
Maria Giangiulio left a message on April 4, 2020:
Steve was my favorite referee partner, who loved to joke around, and always had a smile on his face. Even when he refereed the teams that I coached, he always found a way to make everyone on the court laugh. He will be truly missed. As president of the WTPR program, I promise you that everyone will always know who he was and the type of man he was, as I will make his legacy known and always present.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Steve was a wonderful man who coached my nephew years ago. My whole family just loved him and even though years had passed since he was my nephews coach, he would still stop to talk to my parents whenever running into him around town. My dad said “I’d stop and talk to Steve every time we saw each other in shop rite and before I knew it the ice cream in my shopping cart had totally melted” may he Rest In Peace.. such a kind person. I can’t imagine the pain of losing such a wonderful person.

Steve was one of the umpires for the Washington Twp women’s softball. He was such a funny, kind and encouraging man.

We were heartbroken to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family during this terrible time. May he Rest In Peace. Team Teal
