I just found out about Steve's passing.  I too, worked with him at TNS.  My condolences to his family.  He was a great person and I always enjoyed working with him.  We had great laughs together even under the worst circumstances.

To Alexa and Gina I send my condolences. I didn't know Steve for that long, but I was happy to have known him while I had the chance. He always knew how to make someones day, and his smile was one of a kind. He always had the right things to say to someone which could make someone smile. I will miss him too. I considered him my friend. May he rest in peace.

Daddy. I miss you more than words can say. You are the most amazing dad a girl can ever ask for. You are my role model, my best friend, and my hero. Thank you for being the best daddy out there!

To Steve's family - I was a former colleague of Steve's for seven years at TNS.  We worked together on a number of projects, he was a terrific teammate and his pleasant way is easily what I will remember most about him.  I left him a message on his LinkedIn profile when I heard he was sick, please accept my condolences and apologies for not making his memorial service.  Kevin Kelly

He will be missed. I always enjoyed working with him.  He welcomed me with open arms into the CT office many years ago. We had some great conversations and lots of laughs.  I am so sad by his passing and my thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.  May you rest in peace my friend.

My deepest condolences to the Poritz family.  I worked with Steve on multiple projects at TNS.  He was one of the most upbeat, kindest people I ever worked with.  Our relationship wasn't just professional -- we talked often about our kids.  He was especially proud of his daughter and her wonderful singing voice.  I'll will most miss his infectious, boisterous laugh.

I Knew Steve since I was 14 (from New Milford) and we went through High School together so this is one of the saddest moments in my life.  He was such a great person with a tremendous sense of humor.  He will be so missed.  He had told me that his daughter was one of the greatest people in his life.  So sorry for your loss.
