It is with great sadness that I learned of Steve’s passing. I had worked with Steve at Kenn Borek Air and Rocky Mountain Aircraft. Steve was a good friend and a mentor to me. Steve always had words of wisdom and insight. Steve always had time for a coffee or quick dinner to catch up on what was happening in our lives. Cec, Greg and Patti, I am sorry for your loss. Steve will be missed. Mel Cornelius

Having not been able to contact Steve for a very long time, I did an internet search and was sorry to find that he had passed away. Steve and I worked together in Damascus in the early 80's. He was great fun and he will be missed. Happy Trails Mr. Steve....
