Stephen Edward McLaughlin

I was honored to serve on the Executive Committee of the Potomac Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects with Stephen. He served as secretary for many years and was integral to the team until he was forced to retire due to his ALS symptoms. I just learned about his passing. Please accept my condolences.

Steve, Spanky to his wardroom mates, was my ASW Officer. But more than that, he was a good shipmate. Together, we went to The Wall.when I broke down in tears, Steve was there to comfort me...I will miss him.

Great guy and great friend

I've know Steve since we were all kinds and we most recently reconnected at while working for the federal government. He was such a nice guy and always exuded positivity. My sincerest condolences. I'm sorry I missed the celebration of life.

I served with Steve on the Julius A Furer FFG-6 through her decommissioning and attended many JAF reunions with him. He will surely be missed by many. Fair Winds my friend and condolences to his wife and family. Chris Martel FC1(sw) on board JAF 1985-1989

I knew Steve from the USS Julius A Furer reunions and website. He was a great guy. Fair-winds and following seas, my friend.

Condolences to his family.

We were very proud to call Steve our brother-in-law, and our daughter Emily was always very fond of her Uncle Steve. Steve was a wonderful person with so much knowledge and a great inspiration for our family. We´re so grateful for the love he has shown to us and to Sophia, and hope he knows how much he is loved in return.
