Stephen Steigman Obituary

STEIGMAN-Stephen ``Steve''. Beloved husband of Peggy Flaum and beloved father of Willy Sarah Steigman of Riverdale and Quogue, N.Y. Mr. Steigman epitomized the self made man. From the 1960s through the 1990s he was one of America's leading commercial photographers and directors. His most recognized and enduring image, entitled ``Blown Away'' has served as Maxell's logo since the 1980s. He will live forever in the hearts of his family, his extended family and friends who cherished his wry wit, enormous artistry and talent, and the irrepressible twinkle in his eye. A memorial service will be held October 20, 2:30PM at Riverdale Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture, 4450 Fieldston Road, Bronx, New York 10471.

Just came upon this news and must express my gratitude to the memory of Steve Stiegman. He was the photographer I would go to during my career as art director at Grey Advertising.
I always trusted that his vision would bring an extra
level of graphic completion to my concepts. His greatness will always be remembered.

I worked with Steve several times, and a more talented, generous, and sweet man there isn't. What a loss. It was an honor to know him.

Hi Peggy . . .



Please accept our deepest sympathies.

We were shocked to learn of his passing.



Steve was a gifted artist, and a very special personality.



His enthusiasm for life makes his departure even more difficult to comprehend.



Hope you are well and that we see you soon. And much love to Willie . . . .



Sincerely - Dermot & Christine Faulds
