I had the good fortune to work along side Steve for over ten years and I think everyone will agree he was the Engineer's Engineer. The one you could count on to dig into the toughest problems, with excitement, and solve them. He made it all look easy and fun, and it was when you had him to count on.
I've never met anyone with a greater love for electronics. An example is when we found out that Texas Instruments was acquiring Dot Wireless, I asked Steve what he thought because he was so excited. He didn't reply about money as you would think, he was so excited because his first ever electronic books were the classic yellow Texas Instruments Data Book set. He said he had always admired Texas Instruments because of those Data Books and was so excited to now be working there.
Most importantly, I can't say enough about the incredibly positive outlook Steve had on life. Even at 50 he still had the excitement you typically only see in children. Some of us even saw him actually dancing with happiness just a few weeks ago. He was most excited when speaking of his family and it was obvious that Electronics was actually far down on his list of priorities. He has inspired all of us to make this world a better place and will be dearly missed. God bless all his family.
