After graduation from Westbury in 1965, "Steve" (Stephen) attended Stephen F. Austin Jr. College and graduated from University of Houston with a BBA degree in Quantative Business Management. He was a computer programmer & analyst, database administrator and information manager during his career.
He worked for various companies in Houston, including Sakowitz dept stores, Stran-Steel, a major steel building fabrication & construction firm, and several well-known energy/oil companies, including Coastal Corp & El Paso Corp. He retired in 2001.
Other than computer related issure at work, his interests and hobbies included the following:
Steve loved competing in sports. Baseball while in his school years, then for several years, he was an avid tennis player, and earned quite a few impressive trophies in the sport, until his knees would not hold up to the rigors of tennis. So, he became active in golf, especially after his retirement. He won several golf trophies and belonged to several golf organizations. Also, during his tennis years, he enjoyed ballroom dancing, and competed in several national competitions around the country. He (& his partner) won prizes had a good time traveling to the events.
He was never married. I was his only brother, and we were the only children in our family.
He lived in Bellaire and Houston all his life.
In March 2010, he was diagnosed with an uncommon type of cancer, multiple myeloma.
After five months of many chemo and other advanced treatments, he passed away at M.D. Anderson hospital on Sept 9, 2010.
I met Steve, his brother David, and their folks when our family moved into the neighborhood, probably 58/59ish.
David was older, I think in college by then, had a car and was friendly and tolerant of us kids. Steve and I hung out a lot. There was a wide easement that ran behind his house (which was diagnoal across the street from me), which made a great playground for all types of sports. Except for basketball. They had a hoop up in the drive way, and we spent lots of time there. I could beat him regularly for a while, but he outgrew me in a few years, and became really good and then I almost never one. There were windows in his garage door and we broke several of those. They had a little bunk house kind of building in the back yard that made a great sleep over place. Pool table with a plywood cover for table tennis inside, and a great mom who would fix you ice tea or a cold coke. What a place to hang!
I think they had a boat and beach house somewhere on the coast. I remember watersking there and having my first encounter with men-o-war. But the Paschalls took good care of me.
Steve was fun, funny, sincere, smart, and a true friend to me as the new kid in the 'hood, and for the several years until college took me away. It was Steve who turned me on to Dylan. Being in different classes, we developed separate groups of friends as the years went by, but we always had that connection we made spending all those good times together.

Thank you Steve for the friendship and memories.
