Ed Mason wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Carol and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Steve was a good friend and mentor to me, and I will miss him. I first met Steve in 1984 when I joined Coffield, Ungaretti, Harris & Slavin as a young associate. Steve was a superb, very experienced, tough, and, just beneath a sometimes gruff exterior, caring lawyer who took me under his wing and shaped, positively—more than any other single person—my legal career as I practiced law alongside him until his retirement. -Ed Mason”
