Please send ms. Ella my condolences. I was one of her patients. Lisette Hunton

So sorry to hear of your passing. I often go to get a bloodtest in your old office, suite 100. Thought of you doctor and went online. You were my best doctor. Your wife was also so kind. I still hope you can relay this message to the family. Thank you. Lisette H. In Riverside

We were always impressed with Steve's generous nature in helping others in RAS and in giving many hours as president of the club. Although we moved from the Riverside area to Texas 13 years ago, we have many fond memories of Steve and, of course, you, Ella. Our prayers are with you and his brothers' families. Richard and Susan Watts

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Steve was a very giving person of his time and knowledge. He helped many people build their own telescopes in his garage workshop. Steve was an active member of the Riverside Astronomical Society and served as president, organizing several events including a public viewing of Comet Hyakutake in 1996 and Jupiter after the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994. He will be missed.
