I use to work with Steve, actually on the same floor as the Survey office at that time. I worked in the Testing Dept., he and I shared lots of talk and laughs together. I will always remember him as a very funny guy. He will be missed a lot. I was Judy Bollinger when I worked with Steve.

Sorry to hear about Steve's passing. We will be unable to attend the funeral as we spend the winters out of state. Ralph always enjoyed Steve's pastries that he brought to work. Ralph always enjoyed working with Steve and Steve will be missed by all who knew him.

I worked with Steve in the Design Office when I first came to ODOT. I'll never forget how kind he was to me and his laughter - "{Whoop de do!") I've seen him since his retirement at different events and he always spoke of his family with such pride and love. He will be missed and always remembered.
