Steve Brena was one of the most remarkable men I ever have met. He was very committed to his ideals and always thinking, and his conversations were never about anything trivial, but always about religion, philosophy, medical care, or another great issue of our time. He helped me greatly in my career and pushed me to be more than what I thought I might be. He was a loyal friend and I am saddened to hear of his passing. I had not heard from him in awhile, and just today, tried to look him...
