I had the privilege of knowing Steve at Bucknell and consider myself fortunate to have him as a Delta Upsilon fraternity brother and fellow Economics major. Steve was one of the friendliest, genuine people I have ever known. He touched many people and he will forever be in my thoughts. Godspeed Fugly.

I worked for Steve during his tenure as the PeopleSoft Alliance executive. Steve was a great mentor and manager! He promoted teamwork and always ensured people felt important and everyone's ideas made a difference. Steve was a great leader and led by example... he was a great person and a valuable IBMer. On a personal note... My dad died - at the age of 59 - of pancreatic cancer; it is an experience I will never forget. I wish all of Steve's family peace during this sad and trying time.

I knew Steve from our meetings at Oracle. His beaming smile was quite infectious... making for a high note during the work day. He'll be missed by all who encountered his pleasant deposition. Our condolences to his family and friends.

I met Steve when I was at Oracle and he was IBM's executive sponsor for the partnership. Steve was a man I learned much from and have used those lessons since in my daily life. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

I worked with Steve at IBM. He was one of the most talented, professional, and genuine people I've ever met. He was such a wonderful man, and will be missed by everyone who knew him. My heart goes out to his family; you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sad to hear of Steve's passing. I first met Steve when the PeopleSoft alliance he was managing took over the Oracle Alliance back in the 2006 timeframe. Over the years Steve's positive spirit and attitude helped to make those stress filled days easier. He often talk about his family and I know they were central to his life. In life you get to spend only so many tokens which serve as yardsticks along life's journey and in Steve's case he spent them wisely. He embodied the best in life and was a true example to us all.

To the best manager, mentor and most of all, a FRIEND one could ever ask for in life, whose life was taken from this earth way to soon. Rest in peace Steve as you sail away to a better place. We will miss you dearly

Steve and I worked together ever since he was the Managing Director at Charles Schwab and I was leading the Washington Mutual Bank relationship. I found him to be the consummate IBMer and leader. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

If anyone can go through life leaving only positive vibes with everyone he knows, it is Steve Grove. Everyone who thinks of him will smile first and then lament a wonderful life taken too soon. Deepest sympathies to Barb and the family.

Barbara, I was so saddened to hear of Steve's death. Even though it's been over 30 years since you and I were new IBM system Engineering managers in Philly, I still remember Steve's quick smile and sense of humor. My prayers are with you and your family.

Look at that smile. Steve was a man with brains, passion, wit and the ability to do it all with a smile. He blazed a trail in business as he did on the water. Thoughts and prayers with his family.
