Body

Steve died Jan. 22, 2019, in Indianapolis, the city he called home for his entire life. The cause was cancer.

Steve graduated with honors from Park School (now called Park-Tudor), in Indianapolis, where he was on the football, baseball, basketball, and track teams. At Princeton he majored in economics, served Charter Club as its treasurer, was an Orange Key guide and Keyceptor, and was a member of the sailing club. He worked for the Student Refreshment Agency and in the dining halls of the Graduate School. He roomed with Ted Hoster and Steve Harwood.

After graduation Steve served in the Navy, including service in Vietnam. He retired from the Navy Reserves with 30 years of service and the rank of captain. He worked extensively on the USS Indianapolis monument in the city of the same name and received Indiana’s highest civilian award in recognition of that service.

Steve’s professional career included service with L.S. Ayres & Co., Haz/Mat D.Q.E., and A.H.M. Graves Realty, all in Indianapolis.

He is survived by his wife, Karen; son Timothy; and sister Sally Davis. The class extends its heartfelt condolences to them.
