Steve was the most helpful, kind and probably the bright bankruptcy attorney. He was available 18 hours a day to help anyone with questions. When I eat breakfast I think of those 6 am meals downtown with Myron Wasserman. Always a pleasure as tortured him with pictures of my new baby 35 years ago. Miss you forever Steve

Steve was a childhood through college friend. I was visiting Steve at Notre dame the night Billie King beat Bobbie Riggs in tennis. I sometimes called him "Hooper". We had some fine times in southern Iowa and Des Moines. We were known to loiter with intent. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear of Stephen's passing. I'm a court reporter and I was in many depositions with Stephen. It was always a pleasure to be in the room with him. He was always respectful to everyone in the room. I remember his laugh. It was such a great laugh. Peace in your hearts.

My deepest sympathies to Steve´s family. As a volunteer at The Gathering Place, I had the opportunity to provide financial, tax, estate planning & life-transition guidance to Participants who were on the cancer journey. On occasion, I´d refer individuals who needed Bankruptcy counsel. Steve was whom I referred them to. Every Participant that Steve worked praised his living sensitivity, knowledge, and advice. I never had the chance to meet Steve in person. His authenticity and concern...

I am so sorry for your loss. I only came to know Steve a short time ago in July of last year, but it didn't take long to see the kind and generous man he was. I will be keeping him in my thoughts, and my prayers and condolences go out to his family. I wish you all peace and comfort as you grieve this wonderful man.

My condolences to Steve´s family. I knew Steve through working at the bankruptcy court. He was always funny, dependable, kind and he had impeccable manners. I once had a dream that he won the lottery and gave up law to become a professional golfer. I don´t even know if he played golf, but I told him about the dream and we joked about it for years.

I was so sorry to learn of Steve´s death and my condolences go out to his family. I had the honor of working with Steve in the early days of the Strachan, Green et al firm. Steve was a brilliant Bankruptcy Attorney who was always willing to help anyone with a bankruptcy issue. Even after he left our firm to become a solo practitioner, he always took the time to answer my BK questions whenever I called. Steve, I thank you for that and for your friendship. May you rest in peace my...
