I met Steve many years ago through Glenn S, when they were roomates in Colonial Place, and attended a few 'get togethers' there til wee morning hours (until they started playing Leonard Cohen to clear everyone out!). I vividly remember a large dinner party at someone's house after the Ghent Arts Fest. There were probably about 25 of us there. Before the meal, someone suggested that we chant as a way to bless the evening and each other, so we all joined hands in a large circle and started. It was goregeous. After a couple of minutes in it, Steve breaks into the song, 'Get a Job, do, dah do dah...and everyone immediately followed and created mayhem. VERY funny! That was Steve.

Steve and I shared a house on Mayflower Ave for years’ all thru our last years at ODU. Partys, ski trips, good times and bad, highs and lows. Never a cross word between us, just comradery and true friendship. As the years passed we lost track of each other only to reengage in the last few years. I am so glad we got together again  before his passing. He will be missed by all who knew him.

You and your family have always been such wonderful friends to our family, and our hearts go out to you all.  We will always cherish our great times we had camping and boating with you guys.   We’re holding you in our thoughts and prayers and wishing you peace and strength.  

Love, The Jorgensons

A friend to all, you will be missed.

Steve and I saw Bruce Springsteen at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, January 6, 1974. This was before he was very well known (Bruce not Steve). His 2nd album had been released 2 months earlier. The venue was half empty, so during intermission, we moved down to the 5th row and were blown away by one the best shows I have ever been to. So my choice for a song to go on Steve's Playlist is "Kitty's Back" from "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle".

Blessings to you my brother.

I met Steve by total chance when our kids decided to play together while viewing the bats on Congress Ave in Austin.  Funny thing about this chance meeting is that Steve was not there!  We became friends with the Millers and started camping/boating with a couple other families in their neighborhood.  

Steve was the kind of guy with many stories to tell about his life.  He always said that he would not change a thing and that he was very happy with how things turned out.  He would do anything for you and most likely, he would break some rules doing it!  Not a big rules follower for sure.

We both helped each other through some tough times and he gave me some good advice in the process.  There are many things I am sure I don't know about Steve, but I do know without a shadow of a doubt, he loved his child with all that he was.  

My condolences to Mary and Austin, and brother Bill.  

He will be missed.  Rest in Peace my friend.
