Mr. Whitman was always a welcome presence in our office, friendly and upbeat, easy to work with. I often wondered at his great ability to tolerate the cold–wore shorts in all kinds of weather! Condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear Steve has passed away. I worked with him with Merical Electric for a couple of years. Kind of quiet but always had a good story to tell every now and then. Great election, a memory of Steve is that he could get a power nap on the gang box during lunch break. He will be sorely missed. God Bless all the had the pleasure of knowing Steve.
