Steve's obituary
A graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder and the California College of Podiatric Medicine, he later moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he served the community through his private practice, Desert Foot Surgeons. He inspired many new doctors with his work running residency programs at the County hospital. He dedicated much of his time to the American Board of Podiatric Medicine for many years. Most recently he was the Chief of Podiatry at the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center where his skill and knowledge have had great impact. His passions included health and fitness, traveling, spending quality time with his wife, and playing with his beloved dogs.
He is survived by his parents Rose and Lew, his wife Ellen, children Ryan (Linnea), Allison, and Sam; stepchildren, Kelsey and Carter Hodge, siblings Carol (Brian) Coriell and Teri Teligman, nephews David Coriell and Devin Teligman and niece Michelle Coriell along with many other family members. He will be greatly missed by many. Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 14th at Hansen Mortuary in Scottsdale, Arizona. Guests are invited to share memories and stories of Steve during the service.
