I just heard of Steve's passing and I am saddened by this news. I was a client of Steve's through the Daily Local and we had many wonderful conversations. He was an amazing professional and will be missed greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I taught Steve in my English class his senior year at Henderson. What a gentleman, a quiet presence. I can still see him grinning at my jokes. Am so sorry to hear of his passing.

I knew Steve from Henderson. He was very friendly and a nice guy to talk to. My personal memory of him was an ice cream dare at the Guernsey Cow between us in our senior year. He smiled with his eyes.

To his family, I am so very sorry for the loss of the many years with Steve that should have been.
