Not sure what to say?

Steve's burial is planned for 1030, 17 June at Miramar National Cemetery, San Diego, CA. All his many friends and admirers are invited.

A great pilot and a great friend.

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.

Steve was a great guy.

Fly safe, Stephen. Fly safe.

To all the family of Stephen Arps,I did not know Stephen personally, I do offer my deepest sympathy to all of you. I know the feeling of loss as I have also had the experience. Sincerely
Captain Fred Pitcher -Western and Delta Airlines

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.

A great man, enjoyed flying with him, enjoyed his company.....George Dort DAL (ret)UNSR 1315 (ret)
