I have many fond memories of Steve and Judy during our years at JHS 49 in the 1960´s. Both were terrific teachers and extraordinary persons. It is always sad to to lose someone we love but I am sure Judy and Steve´s family will be comforted and filled with pride by the memories of a true gentleman who made a difference in the lives of so many students.
