Just heard the sad news about Steve. Have not seen him in many years, but have fond memories of time spent with him. Steve was one of the true leaders at the Sigma Chi house. He was an old fashioned gentleman and had a terrific sense of humor. He was a rock. Somebody you could always count on.

We have lost a brother who was extra special to me, helping me thru my Pledge year at Alpha Xi of Sigma Chi as my Pledge Father in 1967-68. While I have not had contact with him for many years, he was a guiding light in my early years. Rest in peace, God has a good one with him. In Hoc.
