Steve had many interests, as diverse as ham radio, skydiving, playing "uncle" to his cousins' many children, off-roading, computers, flying, and just spending time with family and friends.

He chronicled many of his favorite activities on his web page; however here are some other photos you may not have seen that capture Steve doing some of his favorite things.

Steve operated this morse-code-only station from the closet of my mother's home in Deposit, NY. He could send morse code as good as anyone, yet he had a unique style. It got so I could hear Steve's "fist" on the air and recognize it instantly!

Here he is with Opa Staudacher in 1995, at Opa's house on 71st Avenue in Ridgewood.

Dreaming about sport ute's at an auto show with cousin Pete Pfreundschuh.

I'll never forget the day I opened an e-mail from him and saw this picture.

Always to be found with the kids! Here's Steve with Matthew and Anna Wagner.

Steve's ham radio station, KA2SMR, in his home in Searingtown, about 1984. I shared his excitement the first time he contacted another station; what a thrill for both of us! Steve's QSL card, which he exchanged with other amateurs he contacted.

Me and Steve doing Amateur Radio Field Day in Deposit, June of 1992. We blew up the portable generator shortly after this picture was taken.

Pete, Steve and I went to the Beaver County (PA) air show in 1989 and we took a neat ride in a 6-seat Piper.
