Former Milwaukeean Steve Glassman of Palo Alto, Calif., died July 30 of kidney cancer. He was 54.
He was the son of Rae and the late Stuart Glassman, the latter the owner of the locally famous Radio Doctors recorded music store. He graduated from Whitefish Bay High School in 1973, and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University.
He worked for Xerox, Gavilan Computers, Acorn/Olivetti, Digital Equipment Corporation, and Google. According to his family, “he loved computers, gadgets, tinkering, fixing things, doing crossword puzzles, helping people, and puzzling through things that had gone wrong.”
His mother added that he was “a demon at doing jigsaw puzzles” and that he didn’t like to drive, but liked to bike, partly out of concern for the environment, but also because “he liked to exercise rather than sitting in a car.”
In addition to his mother, who now lives in the San Diego area, he is survived by wife Lucille (nee Reid); daughter Naomi and son Ethan; and sister Debra (Ian London) Glassman of Seattle, Wash.
