Sorry for your loss. Worked with Steve for a lot of years, he was a great friend whose humor at work kept things fun. He will be missed.
Today I say goodbye to a friend and colleague , one of the few who really believed in me ,and who was willing to train this inexperienced old goat in the trials and tribulations of Quality Assurance . How this wonderful gent was able to put up with my many , many questions trying to learn a new position is beyond me , yet he did , and with a keen sense of humor ! I will miss our many chats about the 1960`s culture and music ,and our love for 1960`s Sci Fi . I will miss your stories of your childhood . I will miss that very dry wit that always had me laughing . You were a great co worker and mentor , and taken away much too soon. Rest in peace Steve . You are being missed .
My condolences to all of you. I worked with Steve at GD for a number of years. He loved talking about taking his son to the airshows. He had a great sense of humor. Steve will be missed. God bless.
