What a man, what a teacher. He taught hundreds and did a great job with every one. It is amazing the effect his death has had on our students, many sad hearts. Over and over they mention his professionalism , patience and excellent eye sigt. Could spot an electrical problem from across the room. Will be missed and tough to replace, if we can.

Steve and I have worked together at the college for over ten years and in that time we had become good friends. I will miss him a lot. I will always remember him saying to me, "How you doing kid" that will be with me for all times.
