Steve was a pretty cool guy and all of us in the Machine Shop enjoyed working with him.

I have good memories of Steve from the early eighties working in the machine shop on Steve's designs. He was a talented guy and always good for a laugh. So sorry for your loss.

I knew Steve at IVAC while I was in Engineering Services as a tech writer and we also crossed paths a couple of times as freelancers. He was so funny and such a gifted artist. I remember the picture of the Porsche that looked like a photograph but it was his hand that drew it. And a magazine cover. And a lot of laughs in the spline. So many laughs.

I will always remember the good times we had. You taught me so much, thank you. I will always be greatful for the sacrifices you made to keep a roof over our head, clothes on our backs and food on the table. You were a good man. I will never forget you. I love you Steve Ross, may you rest in peace

I first met Steve in the 3rd grade at Holly Ave. Elementary School in Arcadia. He was always such a good guy. His many classmates and friends are deeply saddened by his passing.

Stephen, I can see you moving down that IVAC spline, on top of your game. Those 80-Series pump were beautiful. What talent! Your life ended too soon. You will he missed.
