I am so sorry for your loss I had no idea Steve had passed. We went back a long way at combustion engineering we were both rookies at the time. I did something tonight that reminded me of him many years ago. Again my condolences

"I was 19, sitting poolside at a health club in Crystal River, Fla., when a handsome blond, blue-eyed man swam up to me.

He said, “You’re so tan, I look like a tourist from Maine.”
I replied that I was from Maine.

He said he worked in Boothbay Harbor for a summer during college. I told him I was from Old Orchard Beach.

He asked what I was studying. I said nuclear power plants. He said he worked in a coal-fired plant.

After answering some questions about power generation, he asked me to dinner.

My neurotic self immediately told him I was on a diet.

He said, “You don’t look like you need to be on a diet. Let’s go anyway.”

We did.

He had the fried shrimp and french fries; I had the sautéed oysters and a baked potato.

We spent the next 18 years together."

To Aida and family, our sincerest condolences on the passing of our friend Steve. Steve was a life well lived. He was a good friend and coworker to many. We always enjoyed being with him at the lake, and later living in Indonesia, where he made many friends as he helped build a young company and mentor young Indonesian engineers. He was always a comfortably unselfish and kind person.
Sampai kita bertemu lagi, Pak Steve!
