I enjoyed working with Steve and going to a lot of car races with him. Linda particularly liked discussing books with Steve when we met him at "Rough and Tumble" in Kinzers, PA. Our sincerest condolences. Mac & Linda Wagner

Steve and I shared many adventures. High school hijinks, employees of Ferris School, trips to the Jefferson Hillclimb, modifieds at Reading, nights under the pigeon coop, Swedish cars and a rare old Veritas. We talked at our 50th HS reunion but could never sync our schedules to make it back to the White Rose. He was a great friend, with broad and deep knowledge about life and clear opinions. Cap'n Billy, we'll miss you.

I was a good friend with Steve many years ago. We lost touch in passing years but always exchanged Christmas cards. Steve was a great guy, funny and knowledgeable on almost any subject. It hard for me to think of him as gone! My deepest condolences to Sarah and his family.

I knew Stephen from Tattnall School days. He is with god now

I knew Steve from mutual friends in 1964. Went to U of D with Steve. Had an interest in cars and later motorcycles. He helped me sell my last motorcycle about 30 years ago. RIP

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Very sorry to learn that Steve has passed away. My sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
