Our prayers are for peace for the family. We remember Steve as a man of great wisdom and enduring good humor. As we struggled to create a federal agency with nothing, he led us with strength and foresight to keep true to the path. When we stumbled, his laughter encouraged us. His good nature made us feel wanted and necessary. After he was no longer involved with ATSDR, he remained a trusted counselor for years. He will always have a place in our hearts.

I worked with Steve at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the CDC Museum after retirement. Steve was a really nice guy who was a true public health professional.
