Steve died Dec. 7, 2022, with his family by his side. He grew up in Philadelphia, where he attended Central High School. He was active in all things sports and was recruited to play football at Princeton, but got waylaid by an injury freshman year. He majored in biology and was a member of Dial Lodge.
After graduation, Steve attended medical school at Columbia and began his residency at the Mayo Clinic. His residency was interrupted by a call to serve a tour as an Army physician in South Korea. While in Pusan, he fell in love with and married his life partner, Yong Suk Han (Sukie). After finishing his residency and fellowship at Penn, he settled in Columbus, Ohio. There Steve founded and ran Cardiology Inc., Ohio’s largest cardiology practice, for 40 years.
He played the piano and guitar, was a collector of antique fountain pens, and loved to entertain in the home he designed and built on the banks of the Olentangy River. He had many loves and interests, but his greatest joy and achievement was the family he and Sukie created.
Steve is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sukie; daughters Lisa ’91, Danielle, and Michelle; and six grandchildren. He will be missed.
