I stumbled upon a bench with Steve's name on it and flowers today. Upon looking up the whole name I realized it was the memorable and kind man who was my therapist nearly 10 years ago. Who's gestures and warmth I feel inspired by to this very day.
Steve had a magic glimmer in his eyes. A look of inspiration and calm. He instantly had my trust, at a time I trusted very few. He was the first person I sang to and made me realize I had no reason to fear my heart's deepest expressions. He would call me Moze, referring to Moze Art. I always loved that nickname!
I also still have a Carpenter's CD he gave me after telling me my voice sounded like Karen's. Sparking all sorts of new tastes and horizons in my musical experience.
I instantly cried when I saw the bench with his name today, as I remembered what a truly beautiful & loving presence he was in my life. How I wish to remember that and carry it forward in all my relations. That compassion, sweetness, wonder, and love is a potent medicine.
He had told me when we had to stop working together due to his health, that he absolutely loved the life he had lived. That he had done everything and more and he could have wanted to do and that it's okay. He was so calm when stating all this, and even with a smile at the end. I wanted to cry so much and wanted to change things, but I really felt he meant it. I'll never forget Steve & cherish our time for rest of my days.
All my love to his family and all who were deeply impacted by him.

I am a relative from Rhode Island, talking to my Dad about Uncle Tony (Steven's grandfather). Thought I would delve in, wish I could have met him.

Just learned of his passing. I’m 20 now. Almost 21. I got in some trouble and had to do some counseling to appease the community council. I didn’t know what to expect, but in this tumultuous period in my life being able to talk with Steve was really a joy. I could talk a lot about my experience with him, considering the small amount of time I spent with him I can only imagine the loss this us for his close friends and family. Steve was so intuitive that at the close of our sessions he went to Orca books and puchased a used copy of Ayn Rands The Fountainhead. Reading it was a revelation for my 14/15 year old self, and is still one of my favorite books. Thank you Steve, rest in peace.

I just learned of Steve’s passing. I did not know him well, but he was a wonderful spirit to be around and was so understanding of the kids with whom he worked. This helped me, when I was on a team with him at Kingsbury.

Some of my fondest memories of Kenya were made with the Macuk family, including Steve who I met at the University. Ute, the very definition of grace and kindness, my heart is with you and the whole family. Had I realized Steve’s memorial was today, I would have made my way to Washington from upstate New York. My heart is with you all, with love, Betsy.

We express our deepest sympathy. I was fortunate to know Steve as Grace and my daughter were good friends in elementary school. Steve always had a warm smile and concern for others and was a joy to talk with. Binda, Grace and Anthony, you are in our hearts and prayers.

I am one of the Threshold Singers who sang to Steve while he was at Mother Joseph’s. That venue did not provide the opportunity to get to know him as a person, and I really appreciated reading his obituary and learning more about the depth and breadth of his life. I know that he is deeply missed.

What a beautifully written tribute for one for whom much more, I am sure, could have been said! Sadly, brain cancer has taken some of our brightest stars, and sadly, I didn’t know Steve. But I had the opportunity to know his cherished family members upon their arrival to the Olympia area. Binda, Grace, and Anthony, I share in the sorrow of what you have gone through, and I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come.

I only knew Steve in the past two years, but in that time he helped me so much. He had so much compassion and love for the world around him.

I loved talking with Steve about all kinds of things. He was so nice and talking to him was like talking to an old friend of many years. I will miss him deeply…

I am so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. He and I worked together for several years at Group Health, where I was a pediatrician and he a clinical psychologist. He was without a doubt the best counselor I have ever worked with, and a wonderful colleague. He was so skilled that after we had both left Group Health I sought him out to be my daughter’s counselor. He was wonderful with her and with all the patients I sent his way over the years. He was patient, kind, and idealistic as well as pragmatic with a wry sense of humor. When he told me of his diagnosis, I knew it was only a matter of time, but when we last had contact he was his usual graceful self. I read the piece written about him in the Olympian and it certainly rings true. Those of you who are related to him were blessed by a wonderful man. Those of us who worked along side him or who received help and support from him are also enriched by our interactions with him. May you find joy and consolation in memories of your time together and in knowing how much he touched the lives of those around him. Marilyn Berko

I first met Steve when he and his family moved to the Olympia area and his daughter Grace befriended our daughter. I had casual conversations with him throughout the years as our daughters went through school together. He always had a kind smile, warm handshake and kind words to share. Even with just brief conversations I always felt better for having talked with Steve. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and wish for you all the wonderful memories of a life shared.
