I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing and extend my sincere condolences to his family.
I worked closely with Steve on electrical projects in the early - mid-1970's at USS. I remember him as a great guy, excellent craftsman, upstanding employee, very friendly and a fellow USAF veteran of the same era.
My prayers are with Steve and his family.
