Steve was an impressive citizen of Framingham. He dedicated many hours of time and service to the town meeting and various town committees to which he belonged. His expertise in various interests was unlimited, particularly his contribution to Frambors and the related technological industry. We will miss his pleasant attitude, his caring contribution to the Town to make it a better community and his willingness to debate the issues that we faced. Thank you, Steve. To Krystyne, his wife, our sincerest sympathy as you face the days ahead.

Such sadness. I worked with Steve at a couple of start-ups back in the mid-late 1990s. He was a an unforgettable character. As I grew to know him better, the more I appreciated his off-beat sense of humor and enormously big heart.

Steve was a very generous soul. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and understood him.

Patch appreciates everyone, who has taken the time to remember the impact Steve had here in Framingham.

Steve was a strong supporter of Eastleigh Farm. He was a forceful contributor, with strong and well thought out positions on the things that affected Framingham most. I'll miss seeing him around. We all have benefited from the use of his Town wide discussion site.
