Steven Lutwin

As a probable relative, R.I.P. Sir. Joseph M Lutwin.

Steve and I were best friends. We were Boy Scouts in Troop 17 at Griffiss Air Force Base in RomeHe graduated from RFA in 1961. I graduated in 62. He was a good guy and a good friend. I was just thinking about all the people from my past and today I thought about him. He was a good guy, smart and a lot of fun. So sorry for your loss. Bob Versace

Words cannot convey how much I adored Mr. Lutwin. He was such an role model to me and I absolutely adored him. I always knew how awesome he was and from the outpouring I have seen from his passing, so did everyone else! He will be missed beyond measure. We love you Mr. Lutwin!!

I have known Steve since elementary school in Rome, NY. We graduated from high school (RFA) in 1961. For 62 years we have kept in close touch. With the exception of my own family, Steve has been my best friend over the years. I have written more emails back and forth to Steve during the last 30 years than with anyone else, again excepting my own family. Luckily, my wife and I had a long lunch with Steve and Paige in Syracuse last August, as we were on our way to New Hampshire. I even...

I utilize the math skills that he imparted, every day. I can reflect to a childhood at Shea and Corcoran where I felt uplifted and valued at school, in great part due to him. All students knew he was a great dad and husband- someone to try to emulate. My condolences to his family and those whose lives he...

I just found out about Steve's passing. My condolences to his family. He is remembered by me as a gracious and true friend. Over 50 years since we saw each other. Emil K Ldienau. BT

I remember hearing about Steve while he was still a teacher at Shea Middle School. A mutual friend described him as a dynamic, enthusiastic math teacher. Then one day, I was gratified to learn that he had joined our faculty at Corcoran High School. Steve had a wonderful sense of humor, an ingratiating personality, and an empathy that we should all aspire to match. Not mentioned in the notes describing his life is the fact that he was the glue that held together a group of retired faculty...

To all the Lutwins,
Lynn and I are so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. What a wonderful man, so proud of all 4 children and we feel blessed that you all were in our lives when we lived in Syracuse. May his memory be a blessing for you all.
