What a sad day when the world loses Steve. A man that was such a loving husband, proud father, exceptional colleague, and genuinely kind person. Having had the opportunity to work with Steve for 4 years and to get to know him on a personal level, I consider myself lucky to know such a truly good person.
Through our many conversations (we were office neighbors for a while), we had the chance to chat much socially in addition to work. Not knowing a lick about hardware, Steve always found a way to break it down for me at an elementary level, even though his expertise was so high. He was admired by his colleagues, his direct reports, and especially those at the "top," which he always liked to hear. His expertise was always described as unmatched; his ability to teach, unrivaled; and his kindness, there are no words. The Dilbert HR funnies will also be missed. I still have some saved from forever ago. He used to send them to me for fun even after I left HR/TI.
But that's just the professional side.
Personally, I was always so happy to see him so happy when he spoke of his family... how great a wife he has... how amazingly proud he is of his kids... his extended family & how important they are to him. I always thought this is the way we all wish people would speak of us... so highly, so lovingly, so proud. I am so sorry for the loss his family is feeling right now. He loved his family so much. And we all know he was so excited to finally take some very long-overdue time off this summer.
My deep and sincere condolences to the entire Schossow Family.
