Terrel, I am so sad to hear about Steve. As children we spent many happy summers entertaining ourselves at Grandmother Mayo's Brewer home. His passing is a reminder of how quickly time passes and how precious life is. I will be forever thankful for the time we shared with you at our family reunion.

I had the pleasure of talking informally for quite a while with Steve at the Amherst High School 50th Reunion a year and a half ago and was struck by how personable he was. He was the kind of person with whom you automatically feel a genuine kinship. . My condolences to his family, friends, and associates. John Perhonis, President, Class of 1964, Amherst Regional High School.
