Steve - So sad to hear of your passing. I always conjure up you dancing into my office and singing the Dr Pepper song and providing some entertainment in my day. You always were able to make me smile and I loved you for it. See you someday "over the rainbow". Heartfelt sympathies to Lisa, Jaime and Julia. To know Steve was to love him......

I worked with Steve at McCann from 1995-2000. I am so sorry that I did not find out until yesterday or I would have paid my respects in person. He was wonderful, funny guy - and one of the smartest folks I ever worked with. He will be missed.
Sadly,

Steve, such a sad day to learn you are now gone and that I will have to wait much longer than expected to share laughter, stories, and your razor-sharp wit once again. Know you are greatly missed, and that you'll never be forgotten. Take care, friend, and I will see you on the other side.
