Steve was a classmate of mine at Caspian elementary school. For some reason his name stayed with me all these years. Don’t remember anything specific about him–except I thought he was great. Wish I had looked him up a lot sooner. He sounds like he grew up to be a very special person!

I served under Steve in Germany at the 16th Signal Battalion. I was Company A, Company Clerk. Although Steve was a lieutenant at the time and I was a mere Specialist E-5 we immediately became friends. He was very supportive of all we both tried to do for the guys in the Company. His laid back manner earned him the respect and admiration of a tough, alcoholic bunch of guys. Steve and I could make each other laugh. He had a very dry sense of humor.

We saw each in Vietnam. He had become a Captain but didn’t let it get to his head. After the war we kept in touch by letter for a few years but lost track as we both moved around a lot. I am at a loss to know that he has died and so recently. God bless his soul. Steve was one great guy!
