November 3, 2023 at 7:47 pmJust learned belatedly of Steven’s death. We were associated in law practice in Waltham before he retired. He was always convivial and willing to help in legal matters and able to contribute from his broad experience. We will remember him with fondness and especially his sense of humor.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Ahern, Jr. Esq.

December 6, 2023 at 8:27 pmI just today learned of Steve’s passing from Angel Melendez (the son). I was very saddened and shocked to hear this as he always presented as appearing much younger than his actual age. I worked with Steve many times over the years primarily when we both had office space at 6 Beacon St., Suite 400, Boston (Williamson & Melendez space) but stayed in periodic touch with him even after he moved to other space. I very much liked our many chats about legal issues and sports and he always had a wealth of knowledge, especially on criminal matters, as well as a dry wit. Robyn, David and Leah, although I never met you, I remember hearing about you frequently, and I could tell from the way he spoke about you the depth of pride and love he had for you. I will always remember Steve with great fondness and respect. Eric Kozol
