Body

Steve died July 28, 2015.

He prepared at Western Reserve Academy and majored in economics at Princeton, where he sang in the choir and participated in the Madison Debating Society and ROTC. Steve roomed with John Miller and John Larkin and left in 1943 to serve three years in the Field Artillery. He married Carol Hill in 1944, with whom he had children Sandra, Stephen II, and David.

Post war, he was first a salesman for McBee Inc. and then formed a company with classmate Addison Taylor that was involved in special magnetic recording. Next, Steve started Stephen Lamb Associates while living in Oyster Bay, N.Y. After 40 years, he retired to live in Hana, Hawaii.

A loyal Tiger, he attended many reunions, including 10 consecutive majors ending with the big 65th. He had two hobbies — playing gin rummy and bench pressing. At age 85, Steve lifted an age-group world record of 325 pounds.

Steve was preceded in death by Carol. He is survived by his three children and six grandchildren.
