Predeceased by daughter Dana Anderson. Steve was an adoring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a dear friend to so many. Steve was the patriarch of our family and Pamela’s knight in shining armor. Steve and Pamela shared an extraordinary and beautiful life together. They built a home in Utah called Lions Paw, with Steve’s dream tennis court. Steve was for years a competitive USTA player, and introduced the sport to Pamela, who instantly became passionate about the game. One of Steve’s proudest moments was competing in the USTA National Grandfather/Grandson Grass Court Championships in Longwood, MA with Ben. He was an avid deep-sea fisherman aboard his boat, The Langouste. He loved his Wheaten Terriers, Keith and Aubrey. Steve was a hero and mentor to so many. Once you were one of his people, he was there for you for life. He was handsome with a shock of grey hair that made other men jealous. Steve was brilliant, a man’s man, with a twinkle in his eye and always a cigar in hand. Steve was always the coolest guy in the room. Steve was one of a kind. There will never be another like him. We will miss him always. His memory will live on in all of us. Our hearts are broken. May his memory be for a blessing.
