Steve and I had a mutual interest in diseases of the intestinal tract, although I was focused only on the malignant diseases. I had the opportunity to meet a number of his patients and on one occasion to share in the care of a patient. He was loved by his patients and his students. He was an excellent clinician and cared about his patients. He is sorely missed at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children
