Though older than Steve by almost a decade, I worked for him in a brief career change as I became a financial advisor at UBS. He was always helpful, amiable, and demonstrated a true zest for life and appreciation for people, in general. Sorry to learn of his passing, but will remember him fondly. Madeleine Isenberg
