lived next door to Steve and Lindel in a duplex when he worked the vet school at Missouri. Used to babysit their baby daughter and young son. We had some great badminton games in the back yard. So sorry to hear of his passing (and Lindel's too). A great guy and veterinarian

I too was a resident at the University of Missouri from 1980-1982 in Food Animal Medicine and Surgery.  I had my sights set on ACVIM certification and at the time Steve was the only ACVIM faculty at the school.  He welcomed me into the resident review group in small animal medicine and encouraged me to stay the course when I didn't pass the first attempt.

I have always appreciated how important it is to mentor candidates as they enter this field.


I was an internal medicine / dermatology resident at the University of Missouri from 1978-1980. Steve was one of three faculty who served as my mentor during those days. He had a wonderful sense of humor...that carried me through some tough days. He was also supportive and understanding of a "rookie" in the academic world. I will fondly remember him with respect and admiration.  Thanks, Steve.
