I have many great memories having fun with Steve in high school. He was smart, funny and very talented. I am very glad I was able to visit Steve in Savannah in February 2919 along with Suzan Thompson Bosard and another classmate, Jacque Stuart Binstock. Time melted away with our visit. Cheers, Steve, and rest easy. Sue

It is with great sadness to hear of Steve’s passing. Steve and I worked together at Bass Pro Shop at the initial store setup and for several more years after that. Steve and I enjoyed many fishing trips together, including a trip to Steinhatchee, Florida. He was such a fun person to be with, and an all around great guy. His unique sense of humor will be missed by all.

Sad to hear of Steve's passing. Had good times through Jr and Sr High School. Steve was a mean saxophone player and always was fun to be around. Condolences.

- Dave Sande, Boise, Id

I hired Steven as part of our Grand Opening Team for the Savannah Bass Pro in 2003. For Fourteen years I could always rely on Steven's dedication and commitment to the organization and more importantly to the team. No leader could ask for a better team mate and I often leaned on Steven to make things happen because I knew he wouldn't fail. Over the years I got to enjoy time offshore fishing with Steven and have fond memories of those days shared on the sea. He was a special man and I will miss him dearly. Rest easy my friend

Steven never failed to make me laugh in the 7 years I worked with him at Bass Pro. He always had a smile and joke for me and always was there if I needed any help. He will forever reside in my fondest memories of working there. Rest easy friend.

I just heard about Mr. Raschke‘s passing tonight from another coworker at Bass Pro. I worked with him for nearly 6 years. He was an awesome employee, always trying to do his best for the customer, and was just an all around great guy. I learned a lot from him over the years and BPS hasn’t been the same since he retired from it. I’ll miss you a lot Mr. Steven, I hope you rest easy.

- Jeffrey Summit, Savannah, Ga

I am deeply saddened to hear about Steve’s passing, and my wife and I offer our sincere condolences. I had the honor of working with Steve for almost 15 years, and every day working alongside him was a pleasure. He never failed to find a way to make you laugh. The greater honor, though, was being able to call Steve a friend not only at work, but outside of it. We had a lot of great times out fishing together, and he will be greatly missed by me and a whole lot of other people that he touched in his life.

- Ty & Moira Butler, Savannah, GA

I'm deeply saddened to hear about Steve's passing. My sincere prayers to his family. I worked along side of Steve during the Grand opening of Bass Pro Shops in 2003 and many year's following. Words cannot express how great of a guy Steve was on a day in and out basis. He could always put a smile on everyone's face no matter how bad of day you possibly might have been having. We enjoyed many day's together outside of work fishing, sporting clays, or simply hanging out with friends. I can truly call him a friend. I feel privileged to have meet him in this journey we call life. Rest easy my friend...cheers!

- John Allen, Stuart, Florida
