On behalf of our Military History Book Group, we are stunned and deeply saddened by your loss. Steve was a founding member of the group and served as inspirational leader and mentor. His enormous historical expertise was only surpassed by his enthusiasm about sharing his knowledge with colleagues. His excitement about a good book was both contagious and inspiring. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. He will truly be missed!

“In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say. Abraham Lincoln
