So stunned and deeply saddened to hear of Stephen's passing. My family, the Perchicks, and the Rothsteins were intertwined in the Rockville Centre, NY neighborhood we grew up in. I have such fond memories of Stephen and the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family and friends.

Truly a shock and a saddened time as one of our Citadel Class of 67' K Company brothers passes on. Steve was a rock in the truest sense of the word and great gentleman. I extend my sympathy to the family and friends in the loss Steve.

Deeply sorrowed to learn of Steve's passing. He was Captain of the Citadel Wrestling Team which captured the Southern Conference Championship in 1967; 1st time, ever! He was the Champion of his weight class (157lbs.) and was a great leader for us all.
MANY practices, matches, road trips, victories and defeats over our four year tenure and he was a "rock" the entire time. We had four coaches in the four years but Steve's leadership and determination was a huge factor in the team's accomplishment. T
Truly a CAPTAIN in every sense of the word!

My deepest sympathies. Stephen was a wonderful mentor and colleague at Blue Cross of Northeast PA. I will always carry fond memory of our times together and the conversations we had. He was a Mensch! Neil Lesitsky MD
I had the pleasure of getting to know Steve through our jobs at Humana. He was my co-worker as well as a dear friend. He was very well respected by all who knew him. Though unassuming, he touched the lives of many of those who worked with him. He treated each person with respect and after a number of our discussions, I could tell that he had the wisdom, honesty and integrity in the way he dealt with each person individually. He could keep things light through his jokes but made each person feel important as part of the team of physicians and staff at Humana. I spoke with him late in the day on the 23rd and we wished each other Merry Christmas. I still have a hard time with his passing. We at Humana are grieving along with his family. I consider myself fortunate if I meet someone who leaves an imprint on my life- Steve was one of those people. I miss him but thank God that he allowed our paths to cross. I consider myself better for that. My prayers continue not only for Steve, but also for his family and the many friends he left behind. Godspeed my friend!!!
