Not sure what to say?

Steve always comes to mind this time of year! I think of him often.

I worked with Steve for many years at SLU Law School. He truly was the "face" of the Law School. His devotion to the students was tangible. I have been thinking of him often lately as the season for March Madness is upon us. Oh how he loved this time of the year!

I was quite saddened to hear about the passing of Steve Smith. I attend SLU Law and graduated in 1983. I would not have been able to do that without Steve´s assistance. He was a counselor, a mentor and a friend. We spent many a Thursday night at Humphrey´s where he always entertained and encouraged me and my fellow students to not only work hard, but to also pause periodically and enjoy life. As a struggling student Steve helped arrange odd jobs for me which included bartending at...

I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I have known Judy and Steve since my Eureka teaching years and they were always a power couple--managing what life threw at them with grace and strength. I loved Steve's daily pandemic "musings" on Facebook (someone should collect them and publish) and he always impressed me with his intelligence and wit. Sending hugs to Judy and her family. We love you.

Steve was such a kind man. He came to every Eureka High School Art Show and made me feel appreciated as a teacher. I'm happy he was a part of my life and workplace. ~ Diane Bashirian, Art Teacher, EHS

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Gary, Debbie, Michael, Erik Fakes, and Kristy Peppers.

I will miss Steve very much ! Margaret McDermott

Deepest condolences to Judy and the rest of Steve's family. I feel honored to have known and worked with Steve for many years. I have felt the absence of his warmth and humor since he retired from SLU Law.

Steve was a good man and helped a lot of people. We met in Law School in 1973. He always new how to have a good time. A real Billiken Fan.
