Steve was one of the smartest men I have met and I had the pleasure of working for him for ten years.

He was a proud man, a hard-working man, a man who was as good as his word, who never gave up, who always gave his best. When adversity tried to push him around, he pushed back. He was a powerful example for all who knew him, and he will be missed.
