    I always called him "Uncle Steve" --- he is a senior figure to me, someone that I look up to and respect. We knew each other from Citigroup during 2004-06, but it was around the times of 2009 to 2012 that I got to know him the most

    It was the...  more

    Sincere condolences to Steve's family. Steve has been a friend for over 25 years and am deeply saddened. After I moved back to the States, Steve gave me great advice as we were in communication until just 2 weeks ago. Rest in peace in Heaven and God bless you.

    Still in shock. Steve was my senpai, an older brother figure and great friend. We did not always see eye-to-eye but a man of integrity who spoke his mind which very few have the courage to do now. And some great dinners at Vatos! and the like over...  more
