Steve died Feb. 7, 1996, in Norway, Maine, of Parkinson's disease. He had retired from the practice of radiology in 1983.

Steve prepared at Lawrenceville, and at Princeton he majored in biology, graduating with honors. He received his degree in medicine from Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1945, followed by two years of service as a captain in the Army Medical Corps. He was director of radiology at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, N.J., from its opening in 1953 until 1965. He was associate professor of radiology at West Virginia Univ. College of Medicine from 1965-69. After moving to Maine in 1969 he became the first full-time radiologist at the Bridgton and Norway hospitals. Steve was the author of two books based on radiology, Modern Radiology in Historical Perspective and Radiotherapy of Benign Disease.

To his wife, Bess; to his son, Andrew; to his grandson, Ian; and to his great-granddaughter, Erin, the class extends its warmest sympathies.
