I worked with Steve as an associate at Davis, Markel & Edwards at 100 Park Avenue from 1992-1996. He was a fantastic mentor for me in both my professional and pro bono work, and I remember his dedication to serving the poor and under-privileged.

Robin and Family,

We didn't get the chance to meet you. Five years ago at our 50-year high school class reunion, Steve promised us a tour of New York City when we came to visit. Sadly, we didn't get it done . . . I was fortunate to have had Steve as a friend in high school, being able to enjoy his musical talents, and appreciated his ability, even back then, to "think outside the box." Please stay safe and know that Steve will be greatly missed by all. He was a great guy.

I knew Steve because he was my best friend, Karen Packer's, older brother. He was a very nice & caring man with everyone. He was a dedicated & much loved member of our beloved Stompers. I know he was a much loved & respected older brother to his younger sisters, nieces & nephews. Steve will be missed for a very long time. Rest well, my friend. I pray his family finds peace from so many great memories he created in his life.

So sorry for the loss of a great man with a great mind. From his biography-obituary, he clearly brought much Joy and compassion to many. I knew him from high school and from his band in Mt. Vernon, the "Stompers." Please accept my heartfelt condolences at your loss. So sad to see he was a victim of the COVID-19 virus.
