Oh, I had to look twice! What a wonderful man Steve was! I met Steve in 1984 when I started my career as a court reporter. He couldn't have been nicer, more accommodating, polite and a very good attorney. He never interrupted anyone, always remained professional. was so prompt and prepared. His outgoing, easy way seemed to make him a friend to all. And that warm, welcoming smile! My sincere condolences to his wife, children (spouses), grandchildren and many friends. I will miss seeing him. May he rest in peace and may you all find peace in the blessing of Steve that will forever remain yours.

Steve was a fellow Bonnie & attorney with emphasis on Bonnie !The last extended talk was coming out of the Stanley theater with Phil Sr & Phil 3 . We had all just watched Monty Python & the Holy Grail on the big screen after 40 years on TV . Discussed the movies fine points. Gonna miss running into Steve at odd places ! Prayers to family

I join the Community in mourning the loss of Steve. Over the last 35 years I have enjoyed my friendship with Steve. The loss is enormous not only for his family...but for the hundreds and probably thousands of us who held him in our highest esteem. I will certainly miss him. He was a straight shooter who had the most delightful ability of putting people at ease or in their place(whatever the situation called for)! May his memory be eternal.. my deepest sympathies.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Steve´s death. His passing is a loss foremost to his family- his love for you all was evident from the bright gleam in his eyes whenever he spoke of you. In addition, the legal profession has been deprived of an outstanding member, Our Lady of Lourdes mourns a faithful and devoted congregant, and so many of us have lost a good friend whose personal warmth and sincerity drew us to him. He made friends easily with his affable manner, and we feel blessed to be among those Steve touched with his goodness and sincere concern for others. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Cubby and all of Steve´s beloved family.
