STEPHEN WARSHAW Obituary

WARSHAW--Stephen, Isaac. 1939-2024. My brother Steve Warshaw died February 14, 2024 in hospital after a sad, prolonged decline. Whether you knew Steve from Belle Harbor, FRHS, Brooklyn Polytech, Johns Hopkins, University of Illinois, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Acoustical Society of America...remember him as you will. He is survived by his extraordinary children, Anne W. Nieland (John) of Iowa and Mike Warshaw of Massachusetts. Harriet Golden Warshaw, their beloved Mom and Steve's wife of 35 years died in 1999. His wife Fran Smyth Warshaw survives him. Donations to Yosemite.org in remembrance of Dr. Stephen I. Warshaw would have brought an approving nod.

Dear Fran, Anne and Michael:
What a truly lovely concept to share Stephen's Legacy in this manner. How very inconceivable that dear Steve has been gone from this earthly realm for a full year. We have all experienced so many tragic, untimely, heartbreaking, and life-changing deaths, these past few years.
How do we remember our sweet, kind, funny, brilliant beyond imagination, caring and a great communicator and someone who took the time, always, to touch base with a cousin who was going through the very same life experience as he.
He was my dear friend, as well as cousin. I do miss him and our emails and his stories and jokes, coming through to me.
We learned a lot from each other through the intense love and concern for our beloved sons, Michael and Jay.
May you find comfort in knowing that over here, in Canada, we loved and continue to love Steven.

Much love always,
from
Judith and Jay

Steve Warshaw was a friend and colleague at Lawrence Livermore for myself and husband Ken Dreyer. We stayed in touch up to recent years discussing science and life in general. He liked my holiday e-cards. Steve will be missed.

Dear Fran, Anne and Michael: I had no idea until early this morning that Steve passed away, or that he had been ill. He never mentioned it in our many long, and frequent emails. Thank you to Meredith for sharing the very sad news. 4 months is a long time to not acknowledge him and on behalf of Jay and I, my sincere apologies. We had so much to chat about all these years, and he was a great comfort to me always. May his memory be a blessing and a comfort. Your cousins Judith and Jay.
