It's saddening to learn of Steve's passing on. I worked with Steve many years ago and I remember him well as a bright, ambitious, diligent and precise software engineer. A friendly guy who loved to laugh and who took pride and personal responsibility in his work. I offer my sincere sympathy to his family and friends.
