Steve was my mentor and fellow colleague in the emergency department at Evanston Hospital. He was soft spoken but a great communicator among fellow physicians and nursing staff. His smile was contagious and he always had a story to tell. You could always look in his eyes and know that he was interested with everything thing that was spoken. He was a great student of life. His patients loved him and the entire ED staff loved him. He will be greatly missed! My sincere condolences to Esther and the family

I can't claim to have known Steve well, yet I owe him a debt of gratitude. His son Jon has been a dear friend for three decades and for that I will always be grateful. Jon was blessed to take after his father in many ways and if his intelligence, wit, kindness and generosity are a reflection of his father, Steve must have been a remarkable man.

Pam and I are so sorry to hear of Steve's illness and passing away. Steve was truly a mentor ,and teacher to me and I carried his wisdom, compassion, and "pearls" through my entire career in the ED. Steve encouraged me as a Resident and continued to give his sage advice my entire career. I will miss his wit, advice and console greatly. He was a true friend. May his memory be a blessing to all.
