Steve died June 11, 2024, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He was 86.

He came to Princeton from Haverling (N.Y.) Central School, where he played tennis and was active in publications and the school band.

At Princeton, Steve joined Prospect Club and played several IAA sports. He was a pre-med student but got excited about chemistry, which became his major.

After graduation, he remained at Princeton to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1961. Then he went to Brookhaven National Laboratory in eastern Long Island for a two-year post-doctoral appointment and remained there for his entire career. During his time at Brookhaven, Steve also took mini-sabbatical leaves to teach analytical chemistry at the University of Kansas, Colorado State University, Tel Aviv University, and Caltech.

Steve never married and had no siblings.
