My dear friend, Steve,
The world is a much colder place today, and there is a hole in each of us which can never again be filled.
Yet the warmth you spread throughout your life--and all of ours--will always be with us.
The way you brought so many of us disparate elements together, from so many different directions, was absolutely amazing; we will always remember the great times you gave us.
As you moved up the ranks throughout your career, the way you always stood by, and never forgot, your friends, regardless of their social status or how long ago you met them, was always a testament to how real and complete a person you were.
The way you gave to each of us, always offering a helping hand--seeing what we needed, giving it freely, asking nothing in return--you were the genuine article.
The arc of your interests was so very wide, encompassing the arts, sports, business, the great outdoors, and so many other things, you were truly a Renaissance Man.
Each of us will remember you in our own way, for you touched each of us in a very unique and special way.
We are all thankful that you came into and enriched our lives.
There will never be another like you, Steve.
