My heartfelt condolences go out to Steve's family, especially his loving wife Mendi. What stays with me most about Steve is how kind and patient he was as an IT Specialist problem solving work related issues for people in a calm manner. My experience with him, and Mendi, socially was the his kindness, patience, and calmness were innate--it was just how he was. I greatly admired his close relationship with Mendi and how much he showed his love for her. I also admired how he was with their fur babies, very loving and kind. He was a special human being and will be greatly missed. He was, and still is, loved. Rest in peace, Steve. Peace and love to you, Mendi, just breathe. Angels of Light around you.
