Steve was a great man. He always had something funny to say to brighten your day. Steve's "joke of the day" was always good for a laugh. You could tell by the way he spoke of his children that he simply adored them. He was proud of each of them. He was especially proud of his daughter...the tough Marine. He will be missed by all of his co-workers here, at UHC. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time.

My sympathies to the family on the loss of a very thoughtful and compassionate man. I met him in training class at United Healthcare and although I didn't know Steve for long, the generosity he displayed in creating a letter from Santa-along with going the extra mile to have it mailed from the North Pole-was a testament to his love for his fellow man as well as his love of dogs and is a memory I will always cherish. He will be missed.
