Please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of such a great father, husband, veterinarian, researcher, innovator and friend. His combination of brilliance and humility will never be duplicated. Steeve was my residency advisor and Master's degree advisor just a few years ago. He inspired my career path early on in University as I volunteered in the neonatal unit and watched him whiz around effortlessly teaching students while resurrecting down foals. I was lucky enough to work in his labs and benefit from his brilliant teachings both at UF and UGA. Londa loved how I referred to him as "Uncle Steeve"- a nickname he earned for his endless support. Some of the most important things I learned came from his hilarious stories (my 2 favorites involved oral exams on a rabid cow and a student somehow going out of their way to inject oral dewormer intramuscularly). He spoke of his family fondly as we worked alongside each other on the research horses. I still laugh about how we would "race" each other to see who get a BAL done faster (he always won- I think his record was under 39 seconds, but may have been even faster). His legacy will live on via his wonderful family and the thousands of students and veterinarians to whom he imparted so much practical knowledge. He will be greatly missed.
