I am deeply saddened to read this. I had the privilege of knowing both Steve and his wife Margie what wonderful people. I am also one of Steve's classmates from Abramson Class of 75. I pray that his family will know that Steve is reunited with the love of his life and I hope that gives them some peace. RIP Steve you were a special man.
