I grew up near Steve and we hung out all the time. He was a super friend. May he rest in Peace. I am sure those who knew Steve as an adult are better for knowing him.

I know we will all come to appreciate you even more when we try to fill the void that you have left. In your many years here you have been a mentor to all of us. You have taken this raged group of IT Tecnicians to the leading edge of the industry, which is the kind of record any company should envy. Even more important though are the friendships you have developed

I want to thank you for your many years of great leadership. Everyone agrees that you possessed a rare combination of vision, fairness, and understanding--crucial qualities for an effective manager. Many of us have additional personal reasons for our gratitude, for you had always given special attention to our specific needs. Without going into detail, we will miss you and a special thanks for your caring. We thank you for all you have done and all you have taught us. We will all miss you very much.
Good by old friend "RIP"
