Steven Way Leong

My name is John Goodell, I am the son of Jack H. Goodell, who worked with Steve for so many years with Bechtel, my Father died on June 30, 2009 at the age of 92 and he is also truly missed. I worked for Bechtel for 35+ years and my Father spoke of Steve many times throughout his life, I met Steve on more that one ocasion and believe the two of them were both very moral, ethetical and intellectual people, I am glad that they and I had the opportunity to meet. My father would not have spoken...

Doris and I have shared many happy occasions with Steve and Ella and his laughter and sese of humor always were a pleasure. We hope you all will find comfort in many happy family memories. May God bless you all, Bill and Doris Bingham

Dear Ella and Family,

My sincere condolensces and sympathies to you.

It took me some days to compose myself and be able to compose some words on the the loss of one of my beloved Mentors.

Some of us, remember him as the tough, unbending MANAGER, who would set his foot behind the entrance door in Vernon at 7:45 AM and would NOT permit any late arrivals; or, the Manager of Engineering, who, on a scale of 1 to 5, would rank all of us Chiefs at BEST a 2,and......

My condolences and sympathies to the Leong family during this difficult time. God bless you.

My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Leong family. Although, a bit from a distance throughout my years working at Bechtel, I will always remember the professional man that I saw passing by representing our company. May God bless you ALL!

I will always remember Steve as the man who hired me in Aug.1953. He was a true gentleman and a talented engineer.
He helped me get off to a good start with Bechtel and we were associated on several projects for over 31 years. He was a avid golfer and a great sport on the course. I extend my sincere condolences to Ella and the other members of Steve's family.

Steve and I were in he same car pool for over a year..all traveling to the Vernon office from the west side of Los Angeles.

He was always a good companion with his wit and friendship. It has ben almost 60 years sinch I made those trips, but Steve's charm remains in my memory. Hugh Carter

I have fond memories of the time in 1981 when Steve and I took Taiwanese officials on a tour of power plants to all four corners of the United States. Definitely a Prince among men.
