STEVE GIALDE Obituary

Best Doctor ever, he truly fought and cared for me for 30 years

To the family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. He took care of our whole family for years. He was like my 2nd dad. He took very good care of my mom and dad. They are all probably playing golf together. He will be greatly missed.

Only the good die young" our thoughts with you forever!

Randy and Angie tarvin

I love the both of you and so very sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs

Doc was one of the finest you would ever meet. He would always make you feel better just knowing he was the one that would be helping when you were sick. He made you feel like more than a patient but a friend. And always took extra time with you. Sure going to miss him

Steve was a friend, mentor and a dedicated physician who was respected and admired by his peers for his keen clinical and people skills. Steve has made a difference in so many peoples lives- family, friends, patients and students. He will be missed .............

So sad to hear about Dr. GIALDE passing. He was my doctor for 45 years while living in Oak Grove and after moving to Lee´s Summit. He always listened to my concerns even when they didn´t have to do with health issues. His hugs, smile and caring advice will be missed. Sending my condolences and prayers to his family. So sorry I had to miss his celebration of life.

A very compassionate, attentive, caring GP with such a personality! He was my primary care doctor for the 35 plus years I lived in eastern Jackson and Lafayette counties before moving to Arizona. He will be missed, but he leaves such a legacy...

To Angela, Stephanie and Marianne (plus families), I am so sorry to have been out of town and missed the celebration of a kind and loving heart! I will keep you all in my prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

A wonderful doctor and a kind, funny and genuine person. His smile was infectious and his desire to help and heal was remarkable. Every time I saw him I got a hug, a pinch on the cheeks and a "Love You" when I left. He was my Doctor for over 35 years and a very dear friend to my parents. His love and legacy will be present forever. He will be greatly missed and always loved by all those who were blessed to know him.

Fantastic memories of the Gialde Family. They were so warm and friendly...many laughs and good times...never forgot the big family picnics and fun on 9th and Olive!!! The Gialde boys were the best...and the ladies were the best.

Dr. Gialde had been my doctor for over 40 years along with all my family. He not only was the best doctor ever, he cared and NEVER forgot the smallest of details of his patients. He always had a smile and the best hugs that made you know he cared! His advice saved me many times. He will not only be missed as a physician but an amazing person. My heart breaks for his family, He spoke of his girls frequently with such pride. My deepest sympathies to his friends and family. He will forever be missed.

Our hearts are broken we can't believe he's gone. The last time I seen Steve was at Cascone's Restaurant when me, Steve, James [Gunner] Bayless, Sam DiMaggio, James [Jimmy] George, and Frank Cascone got together and talk about the good old days of growing up in our Northeast neighbor hood. He will be greatly missed by all of us and our family. Don and Jackie Oldham

Nichol, Stephanie and the Gialde family, I was very saddened and heartbroken to learn of the passing of your beloved husband, father family member and friend to everyone he met. I am praying that God with his infiinite love and mercy will hover over each of you and give you the peace that passes all understanding during this difficult time of loss and grief. Only God can comfort a broken heart and wipe away the tears of such tremendous sorrow you are feeling from such a profound loss such as losing your precious "Doc". My wish for you is that one of the grandchildren coming up will flash that "million dollar smile," and in some way you will see your beloved again through that loved one and smile and say, "That's Steve s saying here watching over us."

My memories go back to when my Lil (Mary ) and I babysat for Steve and Joann . The laughs we had were many he had a beautiful laugh and smile like his dad . I remember he pieced my ears with thread. He told me don’t be a baby it won’t hurt. So many lasting memories. Rest in peace. My love goes to all his children , grandchildren and family.

Last time I seen Steve, was at another wake for an Olive st. neighbor. he gave me that dynamite smile and a hug , we had not seen each other in years. One of my fondest memories was Steve and his brother's running up Olive st. with their huge dog General running right behind them. Great guy and a wonderful family and the blessings of all we had from living on Olive st. There was nothng like it. Condolences to the family for a life well lived.

I’ve known her, her whole life is what he would say to everyone with a big smile on his face when I would have an appointment with him. My family started seeing him as our physician when he was at the Blue Valley Med. Clinic. Even though I hadn’t seen Dr. Gialde in many years to hear of his passing hurts my heart. He was amazing doctor there was no one like him my heart felt condolences to all his family and friends

We had a great friendship in college. Rest in peace in the other life.

Our deepest condolences to your families. We met Doc in March 1990 when we moored here from St Louis. We instantly fell in love with our new Physician and my 2 your girls never saw a pediatrician again. Doc was a gentle, tender and caring man. You were not only our physician but we became like families. We will cherish every memory made with you. Heaven has another wonderful Angel. Prayers for your entire families.

Dr Gialde delivered me in November 1980, and he was my doctor since then. He saw my family, my mom, aunt, grandma and grandpa. He was the nicest man, when I was little he would do the fish lips to me so that's when I would start calling him Dr Fish lips!! So sad he didn't get to enjoy retirement very long, but he loved what he did. He will be missed. =(

Dr. Steve was my doctor for over 30 years and a friend since I was a kid on Olive St. Playing "playing kick the can" with all neighborhood kids. When I went for my appointment Dr. Steve would talk about Olive St with the biggest smile. Not only was he my doctor, he was my therapist, but most of all we were friends. I will miss his hug he would give at the end of appointment. I only seen him when I had an appointments but it was like friends getting together, Dr. Steve will be missed, your smile and your laugh; I will miss your big hug too. Thank you for taking of me all these years.

My sincere condolences to the entire Gialde family for the loss of this great humanitarian fellow, Dr. Steve Gialde for whom I have many fond memories of my earlier days together in Kansas City. Though I lost contact with the Gialde family, connecting only recently with his older brother and my good friend Dr. Joe Gialde, I know what a pivotal role Steve played in this wonderful family and what a great loss his passing is to his family, his patients , co-workers, and his many friends. Steve left all of us with wonderful memories and a legacy of a life well lived. With my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences ,

Such a kind and fun guy. We were blessed to have spent time with Dr. Steve and Nicole. He will be missed greatly.

I knew him since 1971, at the Blue Valley Clinic and he was my primary doctor until his retirement. My daughter was one of his last deliveries in 1980. He was loved and cared for his patients. So sorry that he did not get to enjoy retirement for a lengthy time. My condolences to family in such a great loss.

Our hearts are broken. We love and will miss you every day

Rest in peace dear friend, a life of service well lived.

Steve was an absolutely wonderful person and a great physician. We attended De La Salle High School together and Steve was a great student, great athlete and great friend. Steve will be missed but his smile, energy and kindness touched so many people and made us all better. Ernie Wasmer

Steve became our family's doctor when we moved to this area in 1981. Since that time he cared for us, our sons and later our grandchildren. What a wonderful doctor and friend. Whether you saw him in his office or in the grocery store, he instantly acknowledged you. Caring. Personable. Genuine. Gifted. He will forever be remembered and very missed.

A great guy, a true friend....a brother!

Lucretia and I will keep Him in our hearts and prayers & “MAY GOD KEEP HIM IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS”

He was my doctor for 30 years and we played golf most every weekend for 25 years. The doctor advice and the live advice I received from him will be with me the rest of my life. I can truly say he made a difference in my life. I am deeply saddened by his passing. He will be missed by me and probably thousands of others. Sharon and my prayers are with his family at this time of mourning.

What a terrific guy. So smart and full of fun. Such a good friend. I will miss him.
Went to DeLaSalle with him. Class of 63.
