Steve was a dear friend to all of us, and he will be forever missed. To me he was closer than a brother, and I grieve deeply for your loss. We will always love and care for you, your children and your grandchildren. With love and devotion, s2.
I began calling myself s2 (s-squared) in high school after learning algebra. A2 (a-squared) means "A" times "A"; thus my initials for Steve Stumph are s2. Steve Southwick liked the idea so well that he adapted it and even named his company S2 E2 (S-Squared E-Squared for Steve Southwick Electronic Engineering). But around me, he always respectfully referred to himself as S-Squared junior. Besides, I was older.
Steve and I first met when we both worked as electronic engineers at Sperry-Univac in Salt Lake City. He was in Test, and I was in Support Engineering. What first caught my attention was when we'd flip a quarter to see who would buy a round of soda-pop. When he'd win, he always insisted that the "winner" would get to buy for everyone. At first I just went along with his "sucker play." When he won, he'd buy, and when he lost, he'd buy. But after awhile, I too, would insist on buying when I'd win. It was more fun being a winner than a loser.
One October Friday after work, he asked my to fly him over the mountains east of Ogden to spot deer for the opening day of hunting season -- probably the last illegal act he performed. My little 65 horsepower Piper Vagabond weighed only 650 pounds empty. So with two big 200+ pound riders and only half a tank of gas, it was a slow climb to 9,000 feet. Steve couldn't believe how under-powered we were, and kept making snide remarks.
On the way home, we had about a 50-mph headwind (40 mph ground speed). When Steve looked down at the freeway near Lagoon and saw diesel trucks passing us, he couldn't hold back one final insult -- and I DO mean FINAL! He sneered, "Can't this thing go any faster?"
I gave him an icy stare and pushed the control stick forward, nosing down in a vertical dive. "We can ALWAYS go faster!" I barked. "It just depends on which direction you want to go."
Later, while that little plane sat in his garage for 15 years, awaiting "time" for him to re-cover it, he would proudly show visitors the permanent dent in the ceiling where he bumped his head on our way to hell.
Dear Brenda and family of Steven. I just wanted to leave a note her to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Was very sorry to hear that Steven passed away but he sure put up a good fight to stay with his family. I can tell it's a family full of love and life. Bless you all.

Dear Southwick Family,
I was so saddened to hear about Steve's accident and passing. He was such a good neighbor and great man. He will be sorely missed by so many. Please know that you are all in my prayers for continued strength during this difficult time, and for comfort in your grief.
Blessings to you all,
Michelle Manning-Kogler
