Steve was a great person - the kind of person who made you feel better about who you were when you were with him. I've known Pudgy since high school. A great person then and an even better person he became. What a blessing to the world and his family. Deepest sympathies to Kathy and their children on their great loss. May God be at your side every moment of this journey. Keep his smile and laughter ever present.

I knew and worked with Steve at Burlington Resources and I will always appreciate the knowledge he brought into our organization. I know of no better complement to pay Steve other than to say as you develop in your career you take positive aspects from many along the way, and Steve's grace and professionalism are behaviors of his that impacted me personally. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Godspeed my friend. You will be missed.

Steve was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Steve was such a pleasure to work for and I will always be grateful for the way he welcomed me into the BR family when I came over from LL&E. I will miss Steve terribly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Steve was my boss when I started at BNI in Seattle. After a long day at work he always thanked me for my help. That simple gesture really caught me off guard and is just a simple example of his kindeness and leadership. I have tried to emulate that ever since. We had not kept in touch much but I would like to thank him for his help.
