Not sure what to say?

I think often of our carefree days at james bowie elementary . How you were a ringleader of our many football games during lunch and at recess.

One that really sticks out in my mind was the sword in the stone. Thanks for many fond memories. Rest in peace my friend

Sad, very, very, sad. Steve was an effusively good man and superb newsman who died far too young.

Steve was my oldest friend. We met as college freshmen, worked in Grand Junction, Houston and Denver together, and prowled the Mountain West on countless occasions. I miss him terribly.

This is a tough one. Steve's been a good friend since 1977. We worked together at The Daily Sentinel and the Rocky Mountain News. We went through some good times and bad in the newspaper business. I was one of the reporters on Steve's team covering the Glenwood fire in 1994.

Wonderful colleague and editor. I was always long distance in the Washington bureau and Steve was always the calm center of the Texas newsroom. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP.

I didn't get to know Steve, but I know Molly and Kristen and know how much they loved him so I know he was special. God has granted him peace and I pray for comfort and peace for his family.

I retired ten years ago, but still recall Steve as one of my favorite co-workers ever. His ability, coolness under pressure, attitude and sense of humor were wonderful. My prayers are with his family.
