Steve was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He took the time to help me understand a difficult subject for me. Above that he was a wonderful person. Thank you Steve for all you did for your students and friends.

Steve Cherry was one of the best teachers I have ever had! It was simply a pleasure to sit in his class. His style of teaching was pure "Steve Cherry" and should have been patented!
