I wish to express my sincere condolences to Steve’s family. As a customer of ABB, I had many occasions to talk with Steve about his sensors and how to best use them in the paper industry. I was amazed at his knowledge, dedication and his grasp of details. I recall lengthy meetings where he explained coat weight sensors, same spot scanning and other topics to me. I had the privilege of working with him on the development of the “Paper Machine Quality Control Systems (QCS)” handbook. He was quite a driving force who wrote more than anyone else and without him, it may not have been completed. He was so deserving of the Process Control Division Technical Award that he received. I will miss him.

So sad to hear of the passing of Steve. He was such a brilliant engineer/scientist and was an institution with AccuRay/ABB. The world has lost a brilliant mind.

The Biros family wishes to express our sorrow at Steve’s passing, and our sympathy to Lori and others in Steve’s family. Steve’s many contributions to the AccuRay and ABB businesses provided many people with valuable things to deliver to customers, and in turn provided those people with the ability to earn a living and provide for their families. Our family is one such family. We are grateful for his impact.

I worked with Steve on many projects and systems. I helped install the firs IR Transmission gage, Two IR Reflection, offset by 1 !/2 inches. over the next 31 years I continued to work with him. It was always a joy. We talked about many things in his life. His Joy was in his family. He had a truly wonderful mind, inventive and always thinking outside the box. The sixth hole was the home of the Sturminator. My wife did the bus routing for Dublin School system. She had a different challenge every day, during the Tournament. I will always remember him sitting at the table, during lunch. Quiet and humble, he could make a statue laugh when he chose to comment. I wrote this poem When Regen passed: Because I Do Not Know Any Other Way Because I do not know any other way Who can understand the pain? Who can wish for things to be the same? Who can understand as a loved one takes a lonely walk A walk into the quiet night You live for a smile A squeeze of your hand Some small sign that let you know they understand You are with them As you have been Each day is a trial Who can understand what its like? Except someone who has done the same Will there be a moment when I can say goodbye Will he/she know if I am there? Why sit day by day as life and mind slips away Watching the decent to total isolation Oblivious to all that was a life boldly lived Because it is my Father My Mother My Sister My Brother My Spouse For love of them I sit hour by hour To bring what comfort I can Until they walk straight, firm and unbent in the sight of God.

With sting in my heart, I got the news Steve passed away. Steve was was a superior scientist and good friend. But now gone from this Earth . I am sure however, that Steve went up to that big white laboratory in Heaven he dreamed about. Where he now is explaining for S:t Peter the deep science of measuring paper. Like no one ever did did before, and no one will be able to do later. May I say our humble condolences to Lori . You have been so good for Steve.
