Steve RIVKIN

I'm missing Steve. He was such a nice person, always open for an exchange of ideas. And I remember our drive in Austria so well, on a cold November day without heating in the car. He was so brave. Blessings to Steve and his family.

Steve's knowledge and experience in Brand Naming, Positioning and Differentiation as well as Brand naming is missing in todays world.

Just a few weeks ago, my 34 year old son asked me for business advice, and I shared some sage advice that Steve had given me when I worked for him when I was a business guppie. His wisdom lives on to another generation!!!! Gone but not forgotten!!!!

Steve was just good I knew him briefly at MU. He escorted me across a busy street, even when it was out of his way : what a gentleman! I wish I had known sooner. Love to all, especially his beloved wife. His goodness will continue to bless this world.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Steve's death and send my sympathy to April and his family. I met Steve while we both were working on the student newspaper at Mizzou. When I later became the editor he was most supportive. Steve somehow instinctively knew the challenges I was facing as a female who was not expected to get the job. I was always grateful for that and for his love of our business of journalism.

Steve was more than a worker to me. I knew him from boyhood; however, contact was much more infrequent as an adult due to the distances between us. We communicated periodically, including recent messages about his illness. I was shocked to learn of his death through LinkedIn. My condolences to April and other family members.

I just heard about Steve's passing and am so very sad. He was a wonderful, always fun and supportive business friend from Institutional Investor days. A terrible loss. My condolences to you, April, and family.
