Body

Steve died June 27, 2023, in Greenwich, Conn. He was 86.

He came to Princeton from Scarsdale High School, where he participated in publications, debating, and photography.

At Princeton, Steve majored in English and was a member of the Pre-Medical Society, the Outing Club, and Court Club. His roommates were Dick Weltz and Roger Baldwin.

After graduation, he earned a medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he met Jane Gantman. They married and had three children, Jonathan, Robert, and Jennifer. Steve practiced pediatric medicine for 41 years unti he retired. His dry wit and intelligence will be missed by all who knew him. Friends and family will especially miss hearing about one of his ever-expanding set of hobbies over a pint of Swiss almond Haagen-Dazs.

Steve is survived by Jane, three children, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and his brother. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
