Several years ago as a new S/O, Steve did a couple sectors training with me, and I had the priviledge of flying with him once again after that....it says alot of the man that I only met him a few times, but he left a lasting impression on me as a professional and a lovely man. I just wanted to pass on my condolences to his family and I hope that you find some comfort in the high regard we all held him in.
Rest In Peace.
