On Thursday April 16, 2020 I lost one of my closest, dearest, and long-time friends to Coronavirus. Steve and I roomed together at Columbia all four years and laughed and had great times together for more than sixty years. We dined together and spoke frequently. We attended family events together and our families are close. Steve has two wonderful and accomplished children Alana and Jared. He was totally, insanely in love with his two grandchildren (by Alana and her husband Alex Krug) Estelle and Bennett.The apple of his eye, Eve, his wife of forty-one years, can be reached at [email protected]. If anyone wishes to reach her by phone you can email me at [email protected] or call me at 516.883.2526. Steve has left a huge hole in my heart. He was a big part of my life and I'm already in disbelief that I can't pick up the phone and call him. Steve was the best friend I could have wished for - I will miss him forever.
