Steve Glassman

I knew Steve from working in his father´s record store (Radio Doctors) in Milwaukee, WI in the mid-to-late 70´s. We´d have lunch frequently at the SafeHouse. A friend on Facebook just went there and brought back my thoughts of the fun lunches we had. I looked Steve up and discovered this sad news. My sympathy goes to his family. He was a kind young man.

I knew Steve through Google. He was at times a team-mate and an office-mate. Always, he was a friend. Regardless of what was happening at work, he always made time for chats, lunches, or giving advice. That's just the guy he was. He is missed, will be missed, and indeed has been missed for the year it's been since his passing.

I met Steve as I was reading Gravitiy's Rainbow on my balcony one sunny Mountain View morning in 1979 or so. Of course he had read it too. We became great friends and roommates for several years in a couple different group houses. He had a terrific brilliant sense of humor. We cooked some bizarre meals together. I'm sorry he's gone so soon.

I remember Steve from Carnegie-Mellon. He was a fantastic Risk player (board game), almost always winning in our games. A very nice man and good friend. I am so sorry to read about him passing away.

I worked with Steve at DEC SRC what seems like a long time ago. I'm saddened that he is gone, somehow I can't quite imagine him getting sick and dying. He was always fit looking and exercised and was calm. I've seen Lucille at various PASA meets where she is an official over the last few years. I never heard that Steve was sick. I hope everyone is ok.

I'm very sorry to hear about Steve. I remember Steve and Lucille when we all swam at the Covington pool in the 80's and early 90's. I remember Steve as a very nice person.

We are very saddened by Steve's passing. He was indeed the classic nerd in all the positive aspects of the word :). And he was a humble man who enjoyed simple things. I remember being with him on his 30th birthday when Lu gave him 30 unique and quirky and "oh so Steve" t-shirts. He loved unwrapping and holding up each and every one. A perfect gift for a man so at home with himself in a t-shirt, shorts and Birkenstocks.

With deepest sympathies.

What a shock! I just happened to look up Steve in our personnel database and this is what I found. I met Steve and Lucille when I was a summer intern at DEC SRC long ago; they stood out as particularly welcome and supportive of the interns. Our paths crossed only a few times at Google and now I am doubly sorry I didn't get in touch before. Farewell Steve! All the best Lucille.

I am so shocked and saddened to get this news. I worked with Lucille many years ago, and that's how I met Steve and the kids. Some time after that I joined Google and saw Steve often because we worked in the same building. One day he dropped everything to help me use an unfamiliar fax machine. Another day, when most of the printers in the building were down, he walked downstairs with me to help me find the one lone functioning printer in the building.

Whenever I saw Steve, I asked...
