I didn't get to know Steve as long as I'd have liked. I came to help him late in his life. He was cheerful, even in his weakened state. Easy to be around, kind. I was very sorry to hear he passed.

I have known Stephen for 8 years-he was my next door neighbor. My family and I enjoyed talking with him and having him at our parties. He was a very sweet person and his factual nature made me smile. We will miss him.

Steve has been my friend for little more than sixty years. We graduated from Alhambra High in the same class of 1956. He was a good man, a quiet man, an honest man. He will be missed.
