I recall that Steve once lived in an apartment that was directly atop a bakery in the town of Hezerath in what was then West Germany during the years 1979 and 1980. Steve and I shared several adventures, meals and general camaraderie. Years later I was privileged to be at his and Martha's (aka "Mort") wedding along with others of his Air Force friends. I am, even at this late date, deeply affected by his passing. My prayers and thoughts go out to his beautiful family. May God's peace be with them.

To know Steve was to instantly like him. He was SO NICE! And that laugh! I know you held a variety of titles over your life and that your favorite title of all was "dad." Rest in peace, my friend.
