Steven Mclaughlin

This past year has been a difficult one to say the least. Steve was taken from us over one year ago and he is missed immensely. He was a genuinely good person who inspired many botanists and general plant enthusiasts. I continue to draw on knowledge learned from him and like to think he would be proud that is teaching and mentoring have affected so many.

Jan, I was so sorry to hear about Steve. I want you to know that your friendship means so much to me and I cherish the times we spent together in Tucson. I remember the walk you and Steve and I had in Sabino Canyon fondly. My thoughts are with you, Jan. Love, Beth

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although the botanical world has lost an accomplished and well-respected scientist, his knowledge will live on through his writings.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Steve was an inspiration to me, and a pleasure to work with. Steve was an encyclopedia of botanical knowledge, and all who had the pleasure of working with him will miss him.

My condolences to you and your family. Psalm 147: He will heal the broken hearted.

I am very sorry for your loss. Steve was a great colleague and did much to advance botany in Arizona especially.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Steve's passing. He was such a kind soul, a good friend and mentor. Both directly and indirectly Steve was an inspiration to me and to a generation of botanists, ecologists and conservationists. His legacy lives on with all he touched and he will be missed immensely.

Steve was dedicated to science, a truly gifted researcher, and a wonderful colleague. He was a wonderful role model for us all and especially our students. I missed him after he retired and regret that I was not able to see more of him and Jan in Big Pine. My sincere condolences go out to Jan and the rest of his family I know that this has been a difficult path for all of you.

A wonderful colleague and a truly caring and wonderful soul.
