Stephen Leslie Bobbitt

Steve was my first city editor back in the '80s at the Colorado Springs Sun. Journalism school grads were a dime-a-dozen back then, but Steve never treated his new hires as throw-aways. He was an outstanding writer and reporter himself, but also possessed the rare ability to teach others. He made everyone around him better. I went on to work at bigger newspapers, but never had a bigger editor than Steve Bobbitt. I'm forever grateful.

I have fond memories of Steve from our days at Wasson. I loved his positive outlook and his great sense of humor. I send prayers of strength and comfort during this time. Rhonda Cowan Bryant

We moved away from CO when I was 9, but I have the best memories of living next door to Steve & Charlie. I especially remember that Steve delighted in telling dumb jokes and had a goofy, joyful sense of humor. My heart goes out to all those who are missing him.

To Barbara: I was so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I hope that the love your shared will be a comfort to you and that his memory will be a blessing.

To the extended Bobbitt family: I know your hearts are filled with wonderful memories right now. I hope they fill you with love and happiness. I haven´t lived in Colorado Springs in a long time but when I was there a month ago I drove through the old neighborhood, I was filled with memories... the Bobbitts, the Keunnings, Delaney´s, Brinkmeyers, McBrides... they all made for a great childhood. We all had a lot of fun. I am really sorry for your loss. Reading this obituary I thought that Steve...

Bobbitt Family, I want to offer my condolences at the passing of your son and brother Steve. Though it has been many years since I last saw him, I have found myself thinking back on the old neighborhood of our collective youth often. Steve was a big part of those early years, and I´m sadden by his passing. He is in my thoughts, as are "Mrs." Bobbitt, Mike, and Charlie. Robert "Bobby" Delaney

Steve's enthusiasm, vivaciousness and "quirky sense of humor" were always a joy for his friends to experience. All of those of us who knew him will greatly miss his presence.
