I worked with Stephen and Andrew Sorenson on 'Regionalville Revisted,' which was based on the iconic 1954 Study by Koos entitled 'The Health of Regionville.'
Stephen was, at once, engaging, fun, tough, but always supportive. He and Andy were the perfect team...complementary in every way. My life was changed for the better for knowing Stephen.
May Hashem keep his name a blessing.

Steve Kunitz was a deeply intelligent, warm and funny man who enriched the lives of his friends and made a lasting contribution to studies of the social determinants of health. I am writing this from Australia where Steve made many long lasting friends and where his work on Indigenous health has been hugely important. We will all remember and miss his jokes, his keen mind and his ability to converse on widely-ranging issues. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies and warm regards to Izzie and the family.

We will miss our too infrequent but always enjoyable visits with Steve. His insight, intellect and wit elevated every moment we ever shared. Gloria and I feel privileged to have been his cousin (even if only by marriage). Our thoughts and love to Izzie, Lisa and Daniel.

Dear Izzie and Family,
We continue to be heartbroken over Steve's death. He was a dear colleague and a friend. It was always a pleasure to meet with him, discuss things, and even disagree. He made us think and made us laugh. We will always miss him and that twinkle in his eye. My your memories of Steve bring you comfort.

We send heartfelt condolences to Steve’s family. Lisa was one of our first babysitters and Daniel followed in her footsteps. We got to know Steve and Izzy through them. Just to update you, our oldest son, John, and his wife are expecting their first child in October. I hope they find sitters as nice as Lisa and Daniel were. Our son, Michael, and his wife recently moved back to Rochester and Michael is practicing law with David.
We are sorry we will not be able to join you Saturday. Please know we are thinking of you.
Fondly,
Susie and David

I miss Steve greatly. He was an important person in my life. I met Steve even before I worked as grad student for him in 1972. The over 45 years of mentorship are treasured. In recent years, I also looked forward to visits with Steve and Izzie -- meeting at the Hopi mesas, Canyon de Chelly, or Laguna Pueblo. The friendship of these times are even more treasured. I miss the conversations and the humor (though some of the puns were not all that great), the insights and his deep caring for improving the human condition. A great mind and a great heart is a rare combination.

I met and got to know Steve relatively late in our respective careers through my wife Joanne, who was his colleague and with me became friends to him and his wife Izzie. That relationship enriched our lives immeasurably. A fascinating man and a true intellectual, Steve was a peerless conversationalist. His ongoing curiosity and open-mindedness made discussion both an indoor sport and an art. I will miss him sorely for that while remaining grateful for his special friendship. While I extend my loving condolences to Izzie and the rest of his family, and while I join those who grieve for the loss of him from our lives, at my advanced age I have come to realize that such a life as he lived is something to celebrate as well.
