Steve was such a sweetheart. He had a warm and caring soul and he made my sister so happy. What I will remember most is his laugh and his smile, both of which he shared often, and of course his love of all things Stitch lol. Though he wasn’t born into my family, he was part of it and he will be truly missed. I feel a deep sadness and my heart goes out to his family and all those whose life he touched.

To the Lipton family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Steven. I had the pleasure of working at Stewart’s company years ago, and I will always remember Steven’s genuine warmth. He was never too busy to lend a hand or share a good conversation. Even years after I moved on, Steven continued to reach out to me on LinkedIn to congratulate me on my work anniversaries. It was a small gesture, but it meant a great deal and truly showed the kind of caring, generous person he was. Thinking of Sunny, Stewart, and his loved ones during this sad time.
