My sympathy to Rosemary and family. Steve was a wonderful person. I met Steve while attending Northeastern U. Our coop working assignment was at the same company (Eastman & Corbett). Steve and I worked together and socialized together during that time. During that time I became seriously ill (cancer) and Steve's kindness and optimism was the major reason I could maintain a positive outlook for which I will be forever grateful.

We first met Steve and Rosemary towards the end of 2017, after attending our Marriage Encounter in September of that same year. Like so many couples over the last 46 years, we were so blessed to be invited into the Trettel home for the third Friday of each month for Share Circle. These visits always came with a tremendous amount of warmth, love and prayer, and connected us to many wonderful couples. Steve was a mentor to us in marriage, family, faith and community. We felt so deeply loved by Steve, and hope to continue to his legacy in regards to the protection of marriage and the unborn. Steve's mentorship will be incredibly missed, and we so much wish we got many more years with Steve, but we will forever remember his wisdom and again feel blessed for our times at the Trettel home. Steve's life is an immense testimonial to us all! We would all be much better, if we live our lives more like Steve.
Love Always, Eric and Paula Watt
It is with heavy hearts that we send our love and sympathy to Rosemary and family. We had the privilege of working with Steve and Rosemary in Marriage Encounter as well as Marriage Prep for Engaged couples at the Espousal Center for many years.
Their love story is a testament to
the sacrament of marriage and a living example of God’s love for us.
We see their love thru their beautiful family as well.
We keep you all in our thoughts and prayers at the sad loss of Steve. We know he is enjoying his heavenly rewards and that he is looking over all of you.
We miss you and are grateful for your living example of a life truly lived to the fullest.
Love,
Bob & Angie Patenaude- Stalilonis

There is a hole so big in our lives with Steve gone. The only thing that will fill it will be the tears we shed in remembrance of him. Keeping in mind only the good times, means keeping in mind all of our time together. The third Friday will be so empty without you. Rest in the arms of the Lord, Steve.

Steve and Rosemary affected thousands of young couples whom they prepared for marriage. May the legacy of those weekends continue on through the children and grand-children of those couples to enrich our world with faith-based love relationships that build a strong foundation for community, country and church. What an extraordinary experience it has been to work beside them. Pierre Desilets.

We are so greatly saddened at this loss! Steve has been such a loving and kind inspiration to us. Jeff and I true hope to have the kind of love and marriage like Steve and Rosemary. Our hearts are broken in a thousand pieces knowing that Steve has passed. Rosemary, we are praying for you, your entire family and the massive community of people who Steve has impacted over the years. He has been called home, and although there is comfort in knowing that he is at peace and rest with the Lord, there is a huge gap remaining. This space in our lives where Steve is gone is filled with wonderful memories and his amazing love. We are sending you huge hugs and will continue to pray for your peace and comfort!

Steve was my school buddy and neighbor, we attended Sacred Heart and St. Marys high together taking the bus every day. He was shy, but a good friend, well liked by all. So happy to see the wonderful life he had. May he rest in peace. My Condolence to his wife and family.

We will always remember the warm welcome and great hospitality that Steve & Rosemary gave us when we stayed overnight at their house to attend a Marriage Encounter Region meeting, including a sharing circle meeting in their home. They always gave us a big hung and welcome when we saw them at many ME functions following that initial welcome. We are deeply sadden by Steve's passing. But we know that he is in the arms of the Lord now and probably enjoying a good conversation with St. Joseph about carpentry!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Steve. Steve and Rosemary were dear friends and mentors to us as we served in Marriage Encounter. Words cannot explain the lose of Steve to us as well as to the many people he has touched in a positive way. I used to call Steve the major of Milford as he did so much to support the community and its citizens. Steve once said that I hope that all of what we do helps me store treasures or as he put it, his 401k in heaven. We know Steve has achieved his reward and the world was made a better place because of Steve. You will be deeply missed
Greg and Donna Cambio
Steve was always a fun guy to talk with. I am thankful for the many talks we"ve had ogether over the years. But the one thing that was constant in every conversation was family. He loved his big family and they loved him.
You will be missed Steve but your legacy has just begun.

We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of such a wonderful man. We never knew a kinder more considerate person. It has always been a pleasure and a privilege to have known Steve for so many years. Steve will be greatly missed by all. And the neighborhood will never be the same.
A father’s love is a special gift that will live forever in the hearts of his children and all of his family. If you had asked what the best part of his life was, I think he would have said being your dad, husband and grandfather. As you keep his love in your hearts, please know warm thoughts of support and caring are also with you now and in the days to come.
Sending all our love and prayers to you all,
Diane and John Ciccarelli
