Steve will always be remembered as a great pilot and friend and will be missed dearly. May he find great peace as he makes his final flight westward. I enjoyed working with Steve out of the LAX and ATL bases.

I flew with Steve in 1973 when he was one of my instructors in the TA-4 in Kingsville. I think his call sign was “Casper”. We later flew together at Delta out of LAX. He was a great pilot who always had an interesting story to tell.

One of the best pilots I ever had the pleasure to work with. Got to see the Taj Mahal with Steve, drunk in a cab on the way home listening to his stories about blowing up groundhogs in his soybean field.
