Steve, Suzanne and Karen,
Words fail to express my deep sorrow for your loss or make this hurt go away.  I loved your Mom and Dad so very much.  They had such a positive impact on my life.  It was 50 years ago when we all met at St. Christopher’s Church.  Your Mom and Dad were always there to support me and the whole crazy Gott family!  I am blessed to have so many fond, wonderful memories of time spent with both of them.  Their’s was an amazing love story; an inspiration to us all. It gives me peace of mind to think they are together with our heavenly father smiling down on all of us.
I love you all very much,
Kelli

I first met Steve and Jan when I started working at NWT 28 years ago.  What a wonderful situation for my first job out of graduate school!  I had the privilege and joy of working in the NWT family for 9 years, and I greatly benefited from that experience.  It really felt like family.  I am so appreciative to Steve and Jan for all their support and their dedication to work/life balance.

Steve and Jan were the best.  I have always dreaded this day for very selfish reasons, Steve was the greatest man I knew in nuclear power.  He always made it simple-look at the ins and the outs and you could understand any system.  He loved kidding Jan about tennis.  He was known to solve group discussions by breaking out the wine.  What a pair the good Lord gave all of us with this 2.

The passing of Steve and Jan is exceedingly sad news to me personally.  Steve was instrumental in the nuclear industry and his brilliant mind and personality will be sorely missed both in the domestic and international nuclear community.  Steve taught me a lot and was an absolute pleasure to know and work with over the years.  I will miss them both.  Rest well Steve and Jan.  Iain xxx
