Jonathan Shaw wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Kathy and family. I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. Although distance separated us over the years he was always close in my heart. I have so many fond memories of our days together. From high school to our days as roommates at Hike & Bike - did some good eating then as he brought home the day’s leftovers from the restaurant. Full of energy, with a great sense of humor he always organized a lunch with our old friends when I was able to come back home. He will missed - Jonathan Shaw”
