So sorry to hear about Steve. He was a great person to work with. Always talked highly about his children. RIP Steve.
Chris–my deepest sympathy to your entire family. Honestly, I was recently thinking of our last Class of 67 reunion dinner where I met him. It was so great to see you and meet him. I remember that part of our bar bill ended up on your tab! When we tried to repay you, Steve said, “Oh, no–my treat!”–didn’t even know us! What a nice guy. Many prayers for you. May your memories bring you peace.
Steve was a great friend – one of the best. He will be greatly missed.
