הַמָּקוֹם יְנַחֵם אֶתְכֶם בְּתוֹךְ שְׁאָר אֲבֵלֵי צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם
Have known him almost 40 years went to dental school with him
Never saw him without a smile
A kind gentle soul would do anything to help you
I am in total shock
He will always live on in my memories

Spent many Fridays with Steve for a pre Shabbos feast at Allan Hammers office. What a great guy; he will be missed
Just read about Steven’s passing in the University of Maryland Dental School Alumni publication. Steven and I were lab partners and cubicle mates in Dental School because of our last names and spent the better part of our 4 years there next to each other. We were polar opposites but not a more gentle and kind man could I have chosen! We lost touch over the years but what an impressive career and accolades in all the write ups I’ve read. So very sorry to hear of his untimely passing. My sincere condolences to his wonderful family.
