I remember the times I crossed paths with Steve throughout the domestic and international system and he was so pleasant to talk with. Those were wonderful days of piloting with Delta. It is memories like that which will be left here on earth and will be meaningful to all of us that remember his pleasant ways as a person and his professionalism as a pilot. May God bless Steves' family members as they adjust to his passing and move forward as Steve would want them to.

As Secretary/Historian of Delta Golden Wings (retired pilots), I send sympathy on behalf of many of our members that knew and flew with Steve.
