His loss is a shock and painful. Dr. Latimer had a great sense of humor, he was warm, always a kind word, and very down-to-earth. We will all miss him and deeply feel his loss. He was part of our Georgetown family and we will always remember him with love.

He was very easy to talk to as well as go out of his way to assist you regardless with work or not. May the family find solace & peace from our heavenly father above. Shed not a tear for our Lord has blessed you with everlasting memories and spirit of this wonderful man! With & Forever his Blessings, The Brown Family

I am so very sorry for your loss. Steve was a wonderful man. I knew him best as a brilliant, caring physician. He was cut from the old cloth; they really don't make doctors like him anymore. Even on his busiests days he would take the time to advise me on how best to care for my patients. And he always seemed to be right. Steve touched the lives of many, many children and he gave each of them the gift of a better life.
I will miss him.
