Coming to know Steve in the early 80´s through his talented, devoted wife, Arlyn, was a joy. His understated, wry wit was immediately apparent. These two, obviously impressively intelligent, so completely complimented one another. Friday evening beers brought many a tumultuous week to a thoughtful, ever mirthful conclusion. Memories of this mensch salve the sting of his passing, and provide strength to all of is who admired and loved him.
