Although my meetings were all too brief with him, I quickly learned that Steve was truly a terrific guy full of colorful stories and experiences. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers and thoughts to the entire Eichenbaum family.

I had the honor of being the cinematographer on most all of the Feingold campaign. Working with Steve was something I looked forward to greatly and for many reasons. My greatest memory is the day I actually made him laugh. I still can't believe that. This is very sad, and I am sorry I cannot be at the service today but wanted to express my sympathy to Steve's family for this loss. Steve's memory will continue to inspire my own work as well as the joy I take in the privilege of having a job that allowed me to meet such a creative genius.

A tall handsome guy, who humor and wit, personality and ideas were even bigger. He was my friend for 37 years, So shocking. A loss to all who knew him. My husband died 18 months ago. They were very dear and close friends. He gave the eulogy for Wayne. Tomorrow we will hear Steve's. This is unbearably sad. We will miss you Stephen
