I enjoyed being 'The Wild Child' in the early 1960s at KNUZ; KNUZ and KILT were the two Top-40 radio stations in the market and we had many battles for the number one slot; many of the DJs on the air then are now in the Texas Radio Hall of Fame; we are all friends now and often fight the old battles of the early 1960s verbally; those were the fun days of radio."

Steven's last note to us (9/01), "While attending a recent function at my favorite winery, V. Sattui Winery in Napa Valley, I was stunned when Daryl Sattui, owner and great-grandson of the founder, offered me a job. After exhaustive analysis of all the pros & cons, I accepted his offer just slightly before he was able to finish his sentence. I am now living and working in what can only be described as a dead ringer for the Bordeaux region of France where I continue to provide voice imaging to my radio & TV clients. If my newspapers have started piling up call 911; it just may mean that I've died and gone to Heaven."
On May 18, 2006 Steven B. Williams' body was found floating off Catalina Island in Southern California by the captain of a passing ship; on May 22 the Los Angeles County coroner's office was able to make a positive identification. See the story from Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
