It is with great sadness that I learnt of Steve's passing. A conscientious worker and a good friend, Steve left a positive mark on the industry that he so loved. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of working with him during his many years within the aviation community, the military and the many other areas within the various communities that he served.
