October 22, 2024, marked the passing of Steven A. Cribari in Colusa at the age of 76. Known for his lively spirit and dedication to family, friends, and his passion for golf, Steven lived life fully, cherishing each moment and every round.
If the round should
start without me
Because I have
passed away
Cherish the swings
that we once made
And please continue
to play
For I’ll be watching
from a gallery
With a magnificent view
With friends and family from the past
All cheering with
pride for you
May each tricky putt
find the hole
Your drives fly
far and straight
And when you’ve
taken your final shot
Let’s meet at the
Pearly Gates
I’ll have tee time
booked in heaven
On the grandest
course of all
And we’ll go
golfing once again
Chasing that
little white ball
