Sue, Sorry to hear of Steve's passing.
We sat next to each other in Biology and other classes. He was a real character with a unique personality.
Although I have not seen him since graduation, he remains in my mind as a caring, valuable member of OA 67.
My prayers for Steve, you, & his extended family.
