Steve earned an A.B. in physics and then did Army service, including a tour in Vietnam, before continuing his physics studies and acquiring an M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He worked in microelectronics research and design at IBM and was credited with 23 patents before retiring from that company to become lead designer for Nuflare Technology, a Japanese business in the semiconductor industry. Steve loved outdoor activities. He was a bicyclist, hiker, skier, and, most enthusiastically, birder. He traveled the world photographing various species of birds, and he enjoyed sharing his brilliant photos with his many friends and family members. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Lucy.
