    I am so very sorry to have received this morning the news of Steve’s passing. I have met a lot of people in my lifetime, but few with the wit and sense of humor that Steve possessed. I met Steve many years ago when his insurance agent retired from my agency and I inherited the account. One lucky day for me. We would have lunch a few times a year, and I always walked away smiling. I will really miss him like so many. My deepest sympathy.
    Bill Schifman or as Steve would call me, Shift
