Steve was a dedicated engineer and I enjoyed working with him at Federal Mogul
chassis division in St. Louis, MO. He always had the time to help someone else
with a problem and never complained. He was a very dear friend of mine.

My sincere condolences go to his family.
Steve is in God's hands now. May he rest
in peace.

I, Claudette Williams, met Stephen, a little over ten years ago, through Mr. Hulas King, who is employed by Siemens' EDS.

Stephen was a very diligent-hard working employee. So many times, I would call him and he would be working way past closing time and would be there before daylight the next day.

I hope his employer valued Stephen for his worth. He gave his life to his work.

My husband, son and I have a great lost.

My son would play the piano for Stephen and I noticed him very emotional. He would not share just how sick he was. He spent a little over one week in my spare bedroom and had many wonderful nights of conversation with my son.

I wish I had done more for him.

God has him in His comforting arms!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve at Federal-Mogul for the past 3 years. He was kind, gracious and selfless... always the first to help someone else. He was a good engineer and loved his job... he always said it was his favorite place to be! Even through his illness, he would always say, "I just want to get back to work." We miss his humor and his giving spirit. My sincere condolences to his wonderful Diana, and to his family. May he rest in peace.
