I miss you Steve as much as ever. I ended up being Steve and Jay Jenson's go-between, Jay was Curator of 20th Century Art at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Now they are both gone. I keep losing my support system little by little. I feel fortunate to have such wonderful memories of both Jay for those lunches at HoMA in Honolulu, and with Steve, for those breakfasts, after meeting get-to-gathers, and impromptu gatherings at so many NCECA conferences over the years. You are not forgotten.

Arriving at the office this morning I stared at an eraser that is always on my desk. I too often over look it during the daily grind but when taking a moment to reflect, this ceramic eraser reminds of a thoughtful, caring, generous, kind hearted gentle giant. Looking at my desk today I was reminded to be a better man and to thank Steve again for his gifts that continue to give.

Steve Alpert was one of my dearest friends for two decades. My friendship with Steve started around 2000 at an NCECA conference and was cemented when he came to SA on a business trip- I picked him up at the airport, and immediately started boo-hooing on him as I had just found out I was pregnant (with William) and didn't know what I was going to do. I was 42 years old and crying like a baby He said all the comforting and supportive things that I needed to hear. After that we talked on the phone almost every week until he died. He loved his family and his friends. He was one of the most generous people I have ever met. I'm sure I will miss him for the rest of my life. Sending love and condolences to Steve's wife, their children, friends... Susan Budge

Fantastic but dry sense of humour. Whilst visiting Westminster Abbey with him and Steffie (late 1970's) he said that he liked British ice cream but it smelt funny - guess what, I smelt it and got a face full of cream! He was very generous and kind and I will always be grateful that he gave me a job when I was touring the US back in 1980 and found me a place to stay during that time. I remember he invited me to his home and I met up again with wonderful Steffie and their then, very young children. He was more of an acquaintance of my father's but he was a man with the rare quality of making a wonderful and unforgettable impression. I often thought of him and remember fondly my year out in the US, made even better by him.

Will always remember is wonderful sense of humor and warmth and kind heart. Have a fond memory of him dressing up as an Arab sheik at a business dinner party at my parents house! Thanks for the great memories. He will be missed!

Steve was a special friend to both my wife and me. He so generously gathered together many mutual clay friends at numerous ceramics conferences over many years to which I was always honored to be invited. I am so sad to have lost him. My sincere condolences to his family and other friends.

An incredibly, wonderful friend for many years. Steve Alpert was a huge supporter of the arts, a great conversationalist and loved by many. This is a huge loss for me and others in the arts. Sincere condolences and much love to Steve's family.
