Stephen Guinn Obituary

Dr. Stephen "Steve" Guinn, 73, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021, after a long and hard-fought struggle with a rare form of cancer. He will be missed by his devoted wife, Kathleen "Kathi"; and daughter, Shanan; as well as his brother, Michael; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends. Steve, an industrial psychologist, served the community for more than 40 years as managing partner and an owner of Psychological Services of Pittsburgh, later named PSP Metrics. An avid golfer, fly fisherman, and talented target shooter, he was an active member of the Fox Chapel Golf Club, where he served on the Club's Board of Directors. He was an active member of the Duquesne Club, where he especially enjoyed the Wine, Art, Literary, and Culinary Societies. He was a dedicated supporter of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, where he was a longtime member of the Board of Trustees and a member of the Advisory Board for Fallingwater. He was also a dedicated member of the Board for the Japan America Society of Pittsburgh. In his spare time, Steve enjoyed his membership in the Northumberland Fusiliers, Pittsburgh's Sherlock Holmes Club, as well as London's Sherlock Holmes Society. He wrote poetry and prose and spent many enjoyable hours in his garden and his library. Friends and family are invited to honor Steve at a celebration of life from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12, at the Fox Chapel Golf Club. Masks and social distancing CDC recommendations will be followed. Arrangements are by JOHN A. FREYVOGEL SONS INC.

Steve was a trusted business partner for many years and we would not be where we're at today as a company without his help. Steve had an uncanny ability to assess human behavior, and the majority of his assessments were spot on. On a personal level, I considered him a friend, and will miss talking with him. Our deepest sympathies go out to Steve's family.
