‘Steve’ proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1960-1966. His career as an aircraft mechanic and speciality welder included McDonald Douglas Aircraft, Garret Air Research and Northrop Corporation. His sought after skills with specialty metals kept him busy at Lane & Rodrick as well as many other interests outside of work.
Steve loved camping, building dune buggies, riding motorcycles and tinkering with tools and electronics. He was never without a hobby to pursue. Steve also enjoyed fellowship at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Escondido and cherished a lifetime of friends all around Southern California. Steve will be remembered for his positive outlook on life, his friendly nature, his willingness to always help others and his spot on sense of humor that left many people doubled over with laughter, including himself. He will be missed by many.
