Working with Steve was one of the highlights of my time at NMUSAF. His dry sense of humor and incisive intellect made him a joy to be around, and his stories added a very human dimension to an often misunderstood chapter of Air Force history. I was privileged to know him and will miss him.

It is great and necessary to be loved. It is honorable to be respected. It is rare to be both as my uncle Steve is. Until we meet again, I will miss him
