I was a friend of Steve's in his youth. We grew up together attending the Unitarian Church of Arlington, VA. Steve was a gentle, calming presence in those days.

We spent a lot of time together and I remember his very fondly.

He was such a good listener. So patient and encouraging. And a really good cellist.

Steve was a good friend to me when I was in junior high.

I attendedYorktown High School with Steve. I played 2nd Cello in the school orchestra with Steve who was 1st Cello.

We enjoyed many adventures, including a hitchhike to Philadelphia in a blizzard He was a great friend. We shared an apartment in Arlington Va for a while prior to my marriage to Margaret,my wife of 45 years.
About 10 years ago I reached out and found Dr Horowitz after 40 years. I did not follow through with communication after all those years.
