Because of Steve I met my wife, when he
threw a birthday party for me in his top floor apt 18 years ago. I had been complaining to him about how hard it was to meet single women in SF. Well Steve invited about 10 single women, including friends of my men friends, and presented me with the most unusual night of my life. Wow!
Where do you start?
Well I can see Steve now with that little chuckle and twinkle in his eye. Thank you Steve because of you I met the woman of my life, Naomi.

To Steve's Family-
We had seen Steve since graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute but, in our minds, we will always picture him as a young man riding his motocycle with his dog (Tar- with a red kerchief tied around a furry neck) around Russian Hill where we used to go to school and live. I am so sorry for your loss, and we will all miss his great smile.

My sympathy to all of Steve’s family. We were friends and neighbors when we attended SF Art Institute. I remember Tar and her puppy. We weren’t in touch for a long time, but, when I conjure up my memory of him, it is always heartwarming. I’m so sorry for your loss.
