Steve always had a smile that would brighten your day! He had a terrific sense of humor and a generous spirit. He is one that I truly will miss seeing. I hope his children inherited some of his many gifts. What a great guy he was!!

Steve was a great guy and always kind and funny. We shared the same birthday along with Kathryn Hansen, and we had a fun meet-up when the U football team was playing Nebraska in the 80's. I lived in Lincoln and there in Memorial Stadium in Nebraska were Steve and his wife cheering for the Utes. It was great to see him and I guess he passed away soon after that. I am so sorry he and so many others are gone.

This is the book of poetry Steve wrote and inscribed for his many friends. I still think about Steve and "our gang" often and fondly.
