I worked with Steve Schaffer at Brunswick/General Dynamics for 30 years. Steve was a pivotal man in filament winding operation for Aerospace and Defense divisions that helped keep our nations Armed Forces and borders secure.
Steve was my “go to guy” for the bulk of those 30 years and he always got the job done without fail. Steve will be missed by all that knew him.
My thoughts are with Steve’s family and friends in his passing.

Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength.
