Stephen W. Koontz

It will be 14 years, and I still think about Steve daily. He was an amazing guy and I loved working with him at Skillman. We shared so many times in great conversation. On my desk today, and for the last 19 years, I keep a clock he had on his desk, that was given to him for a project he was part of for J&J. I keep that clock going in memory of him.

It was our first Father's Day without you. It was rough. Miss you.

I met Steve in 1997 when I moved to Skillman. He bacame part of the rebirth of the safety program and was an immense help to layout the issues and the potential roadblocks as we rebuilt the program. Steve understood the dynamics of the site and became a friend. We would have "tea" and talk about work issues, investment issues, people and foibles, and life in general.

Steve was instrunental inpreparing for the J&J Public Policy Advisory Committee meeting that was hosted by the...

Steve was my graduate student many years ago at the University of Wisconsin. Always a special student and a special friend. I saw him only intermittently in those years, but he was always important to me. Very best to the family.

Our sincere condolences to the Lynn, Kim and the rest of the family. Steve was a wonderful person and the most friendly neighbor we had the good fortune to know. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family. I have known Steve for only a short time but those memories will surely be remembered.

Lynne and kimberly,
While I only knew Steve for a few short years he truly touched my heart and soul. It is easy to say he was a great and fun boss but that is not my greatest memory. Steve was also a compasionate friend. Even before his own journey into the cancer battle he had a sense of the many walls that were always in front of you. His calmness and friendship helped Richard & I when we needed it and I will always regret I was not able to (or did not) do the same for you.
