Steve was a great guy and a good friend. I remember when he and stewart moved to Memphis from Indianapolis. I am truly saddened to hear of his pasing. God bless you Steve. John Dougherty
I knew Steve and his twin brother, Stu, while attending White Station, but probably became better acquainted with them while attending the University of Memphis and our becoming fraternity brothers in Kappa Sigma while in college there. Steve was one of the finest individuals I have ever known in that he was true friend, very unprtentious, candid, truly enjoyed life and never did anyone wrong of which I am aware. Steve, Stu and some other members of our friendship group ended up living and/or working in the Yosemite Park, CA area, and I was fortunate enough to have taken time out of a business trip to CA to spend a couple of days visiting our group, including Steve, before he became seriously ill and later succumbed to his illness. I remember while visiting with him while there that Steve took my wife and I over to his home, which was similar to living in the wilderness to show us his personal fishing worm farm, a large wood deck that he had skilfully built on the back of his home that overlooked a running creek located well below, where I presume he fished, and relate to us how he chased away black bear cubs that climbed trees on his property with his pellet rifle. It seems that was not but a few months after that visit that I learned Steve had passed away, and I was so glad that work took me relatively close to Yosemite Park and it worked out that we were able to spend some time together after all the many years that had passed since Kappa Sigma and the U of M. Steve was a truly unique person and as fine a friend as anyone could ever have.
