Steve and I shared a memorable trip to the Liebert factory in Mexicali. We were photographing Liebert equipment that was made there to be used in training new employees.

To my husband, who I miss everyday. You brought sunshine, laughter, and a sense of humor to my life. You are so missed by all of us.

Steve was a very special person that I worked with at Liebert. He helped me more times than I could count. Because of his assistance in expediting some parts for me,I sent him a few dozen golf balls that were guaranteed to "fly farther" and asked him to let me know what he thought of them. In his typical dry wit he said "For you, they would just go further into the woods". My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Steve was one of a kind.

God Bless!

Sue, we are so sorry that we didn't stop by every time we thought of you guys! Steve was one of the most caring people that we have ever met. He was always interested in all of Sydney's accomplishments and he always made her feel special. He had some great advice for Mike and I and really wanted to see us succeed in whatever we were interested in. I always felt that the two of you should have owned your own day care, because you both always cared some much about the welfare of your kids at school and still cared after they left your school. He was also soooo funny. His humor kept us laughing, even after we left your house or restaurant. Please take care. We love you!!!
