So sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. Many years ago, he was my boss for over eight years and was such an outstanding attorney and man. Everyone respected him so much. My deepest sympathies to Aileen and family.

Rest in peace Steve – you will be sorely missed. My sincerest sympathies to Aileen, Wade, Kenney, Steven, his grandchildren and family – God bless you and my love to you all.

Steve and I go back many, many years to when he opened his own law office which consisted of him, and I opened my own court reporting firm. He had one client, Allstate, and I had one client, Steve. But we both pushed onward and God granted both of us wonderful success. We enjoyed more than 20 plus years of business association, friendship and mutual respect. Aileen, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

He called my office a couple of months ago, but was asleep when I returned his call. Sadly, he never called back.
As his court reporter over the years, I reported many a jury trial for him and was always in awe of his simple, straightforward way of defending a case. He won every jury trial I reported for him. I have to say, he was one of the best and most talented trial lawyers I ever had the pleasure of working with.
Aileen, 55 years of marriage -- WOW! What a devoted and understanding wife you were. My deepest sympathy to you and your sons, and God Bless.

My most sincere sympathy to Aileen and the family. I knew Steve very well when I worked as an insurance adjuster for Continental/UAC. He was an excellent attorney and represented us well. I also enjoyed many fun times with him. Remember his renowned Christmas parties. May Steve rest in peace and may our Lord grant confort and consolation to the family.
