I want to join those who regret Stef's passing. I got to know Stef 
around 1964 at Carnegie Tech. I was essentially an adjunct assistant 
professor teaching CS courses and doing system programming for the Comp 
Center. Stef was hired as Operations Manager, and he quickly took the 
reins. He set up a sophisticated priority system for the campus central 
computer, a very overloaded Bendix G-20 (neat machine but not very fast!).

Stef could be prickly, but he was generally a very friendly person, and 
I respected his work.  Later in his life, he suffered a terrible family 
tragedy that took its toll on him; I am not sure he ever fully 
recovered. Despite that, I believe he was a friend to many, and he will 
be missed.
