I had the wonderful privilege to work as Steve’s legal assistant while at Benton Oil in Carpinteria California. It comes with complete sadness to now learn of his passing just over a year ago. Steve was a class act. A gentleman. So proud of his family. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing him for years, but I did have the benefit of his discipline and knowledge of legal expertise an international finesse. It was a privilege to work for Steve and I won’t forget his kindness. My best to Susan and family.
