I first met Steve at Pergamon Press when we were both about 18. I was working for his father the same summer he showed up in Long Island City. We became great allies, imagining beyond our reality--two kids living in grown-up clothes in the chaos of the grown-up world of business (where neither of us belonged). We met again at an art walk two years ago and brought each other up to date, each sharing our own story, this time, of being in the AIDS epidemic. Still, I shall always smile to see him in my mind's eye, at 18, and to recall his kind friendship, so gentle, a true poet's nature in a harsh environment. Bon voyage, my old friend. Dina Wilcox, NYC

To the family and friends of Steve Crohn:
Steve was a loyal alumnus and friend of the Silver School of Social Work.  He attended the 50th anniversary of the School in 2010, and helped advise us on the preservation of the Edward Hopper Studio, which is located in the School.  He was planning to loan his personal collection of 1965 civil rights photographs to the School for a special exhibition.  It was my pleasure to get to know Steve as an NYU Silver School alumnus and to visit him in his studio and home in Saugerties, New York.  He was generous in spirit, a creative and active artist, and an insightful social worker.  Many of us at the NYU Silver School will miss Steve very much.  Our deepest condolences are sent to Steve's family and friends.

Deepest sympathies to Steve's family. I was one of his professors at NYU and have such fond memories of him stopping by my office to chat. He was a delightful person to know and I am so sorry we have lost him.

I will miss my friend Steve, a kind and beautiful spirit.

On this anniversary of your birth, you are very much in my thoughts and in my heart. I am hugging Harry, your cat, in your honor. There is a huge hole in my life, where once there was Steve. Missing our cocktail hours together, your wit,  warm and caring friendship, lively personality and so much more.

Steve and I have shared a healing journey together for many years - starting at The Omega Institute in NYC, healing circles at my apartment, and a deep friendship that developed over many years. His passion as an artist and human being was contagious! It was such a joy to have him come north and live in Saugerties where he made such amazing contributions to the community.

I'm still having a hard time realizing that we'll never have a rousing hug and laugh about the adventures that life holds. Steve was always so brave about taking on life's challenges with great gusto!

Sending you, his family, my love,
Mary Anne Erickson, Saugerties, NY

My heart goes out to the family of Steve and his extended family who love and will miss him.  Though I have not seen him since we graduated high school in 1964,  I have been following his life on Facebook, and have spoken with him in that venue.  I always thought there was time to get up to see his gallery and his work, and I'm sorry now that I have not done so. He was a wonderful man with great talent, a wonderful sense of humor, and very loved by his family and friends. My heart goes out to all of you that will be missing him.

To Steve's family, a big hole is left where Steve was in your lives.  Keep him on your shoulder and in your memories.  Our most sincere sympathy  is with you and all those in your circle.  Love Shelley and Ray

Well, Steve, there's another get together in your honor at The Duck Inn on Martha's Vineyard on Thurs.9/7 with Elise, Albert, and Richard Skidmore.  Love from your 1966 gang, Leon

Steve grew up with my children in Dumont and was always a wonderful surrogate "son" when my own children were far away.We cherished his humor,his kindness,his warmth and his talent. Our family will miss him so much,just as I have missed his Mom,my dear friend Jan, all these years. To have Steve gone now is another blow but we know he wants us to keep getting as much good stuff out of life as we did when we were together. Fondly, Zenith

Our darling, funny, generous, loving and talented cousin, Stevie, is gone, and we will never stop missing him.  Abby and Larry Pratt

Dear Carla,
I mourn the loss of a lifelong friend who played an important role in my growing up. The happy times spent in your mother's home in Dumont, and later  
in Arthur Zuckerman's New York flat, are too numerous to mention. They guarantee that thoughts of Stephen will always be enriching. May Stephen's memory be a blessing for you, your children and grand children, and Amy and Howard whom I fondly recall.

With great sadness, I say good bye....
May G-d bless you Stephen....

Steve -

Memories of happy times never fade; and lasting impressions last forever.

Sitting around the dining room table after school on winter afternoons with mom and the sisters painting watercolors.

That day we went to White Plains together and had lunch at Daddy Michael's...

Insights about life which provided some much-needed guidance...

Oh -- Happy times to be remembered always -- and for which I will always be grateful.

Deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your dear brother. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Stephen.

What a beautiful service today. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Steve will be remembered for being instrumental in the addition of an artists gallery to the Saugerties Public Library. Through his efforts he made an important contribution to the artists community of Saugerties and to all who see the shows. I was so sorry to hear he has passed.

We will miss Steve and his caring and quirky personality.

I am filled with sadness as the family must say good-bye to you, Steve. You will be missed...you were so loved by so many...your smile is what I will always remember about you most....thank you for bringing your light to the world...Love always, "Tutu"....

Steve had a big, loving personality.  Passionate, witty, smart and insightful, he was also a fine painter. I loved him and I miss him terribly already.  RIP Stevie.

My sincere condolences to Steven's family for the loss of such a loving and talented man.  

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

So sorry,  Amy.  I know you loved him dearly and will miss him more than words can describe.

I remember Steve as Carla's sweet younger brother when Carla and all our friends were in high school.  With deepest sympathy to all of Steve's loving family.
Maria Weilburg Keohane

My brother, my friend. Gone too soon. I love you forever. Your 'twisted sister,' Amy
