Steve was a wonderful man whom I will greatly miss. He was intuitively smart and had a wicked sense of humor. His laughter filled a room and when he flashed his trademark smile, you were drawn into his life force which was transformational. He gave of himself unconditionally was one of the kindest men I have ever known. I happened to look him up on Google and was stunned by his untimely passing. My heartfelt condolences to Ted and Steve's immediate family and know he will be forever apart of my memories.

Ted, I am so sorry for your loss - all of ours. My friendship and relationship with Steve will always be cherished in my heart. We (you included!) went through thick and thin for sure. Prayers are with you.

Steve was a great friend. He and I collaborated with several theatrical productions at the National Association of Home Builders Opening Ceremony. Steve never said "no" to me when I posed a new idea....in fact he would piggyback his additional ideas. He was a wonderful writer and creator. His close association and friendship with Cong. Guy Van der Jagt paved the way for close collaboration with my employer. I will truly miss Steve! Steve made me look good!

Steve was one of my closest friends in high school and also in college. We attended Georgetown University together. We were debate partners in high school. We laughed a lot. We enjoyed each others company. I was blessed to know him. He was intelligent and kind. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He cared how I felt and listened to me when I needed a friend. God bless you Steve. You are forever one of my best friends and I will always cherish that.

I did not know Steve very well, but whenever I saw him (mainly in Provincetown, a place beloved by Steve, me and many others), I was struck by his kindness, his sense of humor, and his zest for life. I know that his absence will leave a void in many people's lives, but I hope that his memory will be a comfort to those who remember him. Till we meet again, Steve.
