Steve was my dad's good friend and also his law partner. He bought my first beer at a bar (a Carlsberg) at Tadich Grill. A great guy, funny as they get, a good fisherman, he gave me plenty of quality life advice, employment and he was even an occasional client. He was one of the best people I've ever met. He will be missed. Tom Foran

I met Steve over sixty years ago while working at the Tadich Grill when it was on Clay Street. He was a regular customer and became a good friend. It was always a joy to be with him, at the restaurant, salmon fishing, ball games, enjoying meals, Palm Springs, Sonoma, it didn't matter. Even opposite political discussions were fun! Steve was a such unique and positive person who was an inspiration to many. And a great storyteller! Robert and Barbara Buich

I offer my deepest condolences to the Leonoudakis family. I had the pleasure to serve with Stephen on the Golden Gate Bridge board of directors for a few years. I found him to be very generous and witty. He was also visionary and a great leader. He was a good friend and I think of him quite often.

Mr. Leonoudakis was my Boss in the early 1980's at his office on California Street. He was kind, respectful and generous. We had funny working lunches at Tadich Grill, where he would order a "Pink Lady" cocktail for me, as we went over his afternoon appointments. One day, I came back to the office from lunch and an IBM PC with MS_DOS installed, was on my desk, with a Trainer ready to teach me how to use it. To this day, I am forever grateful to Mr. Leonoudakis for starting me on my Tech...

I was part of that law office: Ted, John, Leo, Ralph, The Stamps...and Mary. The first time I ever had (or heard of) baklava Mama Leonoudakis had made it. (I have fond memories of that woman). Steve was really colorful and a force of nature; I know you will miss him. He certainly left his mark.
