I got to know Steve from seeing him every Sat. at Rocky's. We became good friends, which was easy to do because he was such a likable guy. His laugh was one of a kind and I'll miss talking about everything from hunting and fishing to elec. gizmo's. Rest easy my friend, Dominic

I’ll miss Steve, his attitudes, interests and camaraderie. Before I met Steve, I’d never seen anyone chuck a ¼-20 Tap into a powered hand drill and proceed to cut threads in ½ inch aluminum plate (fast), or braze a copper penny to a bolt head and create a thumbscrew. Steve was probably the template for MacGyver. Whether it was computers, electronics, mechanical, woodwork, automotive, xerography, clinical analyzers, too many occupations and hobbies to even remember, Steve was “on it”. He was a go-to-guy, the reason could be anything. It was an honor to be his friend and I’ll never forget him.

Steve O,
I'm going to miss our litle talks at work where we laughed about everything in the world and discussed your latest gadget or hobby as well. I'm sure you're still doing that, just without me.
Mr Bill

Steve from Inkjet to OCD, you have always been a haapy soul. A light in the everyday darkness. You have touched so many peoples lives in a positive way. You always give and never take. We could all learn to be better people from your example! Thanks for being you always.

I worked with Steve right up until Monday of this week. Steve always had a funny story to tell; stories that seemed to have no end. They always brightened my day. I hope he is able to share those stories still, and that he is brightening up some other place. We already miss him here at work.
