Jeri
& family: I am so sorry about your loss. Like Judy I did not know
until after the funeral that Steve had died. He was a part of our lives
at UA for many years. We even used to reminisce together about when he was a student and the fun all of the faculty and students had going to a conference in New york. Steve was a great
teacher, enthusiastic and hardworking.He made a difference to the
department. He was always cheerful caring and friendly. Today, I
specially remember our discussions about the golf tournament here in
Akron.We lost touch, but I remember him with great affection. I am
thinking of you all in your loss.

Geri: I worked with Steve when it was still known as First National Bank of Akron. I reported to Steve when I got involved with Public Funds on the 8th floor of the Tower. Steve was very good to me and always let me manage my clients the way I saw fit and he always ran interference for me with management when I was an advocate for the client. I just heard of his death and am really sad to hear it. He was a very decent man and good human being. He will be remembered fondly by me.

Jerri, I just heard about Steve's death. I had no idea. We had lost touch since I retired from the econ. depar. in 1996.You will rfemember I knew Steve for close to 20 years from the time he was a grad. student and all the years he taught for the econ. dept. And all those years I cared about him. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was so happy when he met and married you and loved being a "family man." May your good memories and dear family sustain you, Jerri. Sincerely, Judy Major (Econ.Dept.Secretary, UA
