STEVEN LASKY

May 14, 1944 - May 4, 2011

Steven Lasky, 67, died peacefully while on vacation in Denmark with his beloved wife Regina on May 4, 2011.
Steve is also survived by his son, Matthew Lasky; and grandson, Scott, who both gave him great love and happiness. He is further survived by his brother, Howard (Sarah) Lasky, Esq.; and their children, James, Eliza, Alaina, and Alex of San Francisco, CA; his sister-in-law, Sherry Friedlander (Ian, Esq.-retired); and their children, Neale, Johanna, (Eric) Gassen; and their children, Kiera and Jaden, all of Tucson, AZ; and his beloved Aunt Paula Roth of Boca Raton, FL.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Pearl Lasky; his brother, David Lasky, M.D.; and his in-laws, Morris and Mary Borenstein.
Steve truly lived life to the fullest, savoring each moment and each new day. He was a man of energy, vitality, intelligence, humor and heart. His greatest pleasures were spending time with his family, his colleagues and his Monday night poker group (30 years).
He worked in the office equipment industry since 1973. Steve co-founded Digital-The Fruth Group in 2000 with his dear friend, Chuck Fruth. Both worked tirelessly to build the company from the ground up with successful branches in Tucson, AZ, Phoenix, AZ, Salt Lake City, UT, and El Centro, CA. He was respected and admired throughout the industry for his talent, knowledge and integrity.
Steve was an ardent fan of the University of Arizona Wildcats basketball team. Go Cats!!!
His appreciation of sports was also reflected in his commitment to the City of Tucson youth sports programs. He served as a coach and board member of several youth sporting organizations.
The Lasky family wishes to express their gratitude to the Danish people who helped them through their journey, especially the doctors and medical staff at the Odense Universitet Hospital (OUH), VITA unit, SDR. Boulevard 29, 5000 Odense C, Denmark. Their kindness, compassion and care for Steve and Regina will not be forgotten.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, May 22, at 10:30 a.m. at the Lodge at Ventana Canyon.

I'm not sure what I will miss most; Steve's smile that seemed to light up any room or his laughter that was always in abundance. Steve & I worked together at Uni-Copy, then Danka. I enjoyed working with him since it guaranteed that some laughs would be involved. Steve's obvious love & dedication to his family was admirable & inspirational. I will hold you all in prayer as I know he has left a HUGE void to fill since he has gone home to be with his Lord. We will miss him too!

Matt, my prayers go out to you and your entire family. Your Dad was amazing! I have many fond memories growing up with you and your Dad at the SRLL field. I always remembered his infectious smile and kindness when at the park. I was injured one Friday night and my parents were not at the field. Your Dad attended to my injury, getting me to stop crying. Having to cut off my batting glove, He promised to get me another one. I tell the story often and it ends with me laughing and saying "Coach Laskey still owes me that batting glove".:) He always had a way with all the players and kids. Growing up at the park was an important part of my upbringing. I will always remember your Dad.

You were truly an amazing person. One who treasured life and lived each day as thou it were your last. The sparkle you had in your eyes as you spoke about your loving wife and your son. What impressed me the most was the unconditional love and care you held so deeply in your heart for your grandson. Your boys were and are truly blessed to have such caring and loving grandparents.
Our families thoughts and prayer go out to your loving wife and son and grandson.
You will be missed.
