Ronald Steinman

Ron was an inspiration to me as a drama director and high school English teacher of mine in Minnesota. After my graduation from college I moved to Bakersfield and became a renter with Ron and teaching colleague with Ron for the Kern High School District. Ron also was my daughters drama teacher at Bakersfield High School.

Ron and I worked together briefly at Apple. He was always encouraging and kind to his colleagues and customers. I remember chatting with him about the human experience and bonding over our travels. He will be missed; my condolences.

Very sorry to see that Ron had passed. Myself and my father Frank Lewis, participated in several productions at BCT decades ago. He was great to work with and he will be sorely missed.

Ron was a huge influence in my life. As a shy kid, I started with his English class then drama class in high school. Suddenly, I was acting on stage and even won the best actress award for my part in the production of The Diary of Anne Frank." This man knew how to inspire others and facilitate our best creative expression. He is definitely a shining star in heaven as his energy continues to influence all of us who had the pleasure of following his guidance.
