Susan & Steve,

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm very saddened to learn the news of my dear Uncle Steve's passing. I know he is in heaven surrounded by our departed loved ones and friends. I will always cherish the memories of going to Redskins games with Uncle Steve as well as all of our family gathers. He was a very special loving man and one that I looked to for advice and direction. I knew I could always go to Uncle Steve for anything. He was a well respected man, father, uncle and friend. Uncle Steve, I will miss you. Love you always! Karen Stinnett

Steve was respected and admired by the NIH Community and beyond. DRG/CSR was an essential and integral portion of the training received by EA Program residents during the entire 11 years which I served as Director of the Extramural Associates (EA) Program. For that I will forever be grateful to Steve.

It was difficult for me to hear and read about Steve's passing today. I have not seen him for some time since moving to Charlotte, N.C. I remember the family get togethers we shared with Josie, Steve when I lived in Silver Spring. He was a very dedicated person to his family and his work. He now is with many of our relatives in a safe place. He will be remembered.

Steve was a great fellow, and a pleasure to work with. He was extremely skilled in being able to do just the right things to make it possible for a new "Exec Sec" (me) to be successful. For that I will be forever thankful. He and his family will be in my prayers.

Dear Schiaffino family,

I was saddened to hear of the loss of your father, Stephen. He was a source of strength, care, and kindness towards my Grandmother Mary C. DiPrima, my mother Sue Anne (Diprima)Thompson, and myself. When we saw him, he always was interested in how we were doing as a family, and what we were doing in our individual lives. He especially made sure that we visited our Grandma DiPrima on a regular basis. I remember him as a man of self-discipline, self-determination, and self-awareness. I have tears of joy that he is now with many of our relatives in the Great Beyond with God! He may be gone but is not forgotten!
