I have been asked by his son to delete this post which I will honor. For those who read and appreciated this thank you. For the rest of you, I'm sorry you won't get to read the wonderful words his son penned.

Wow. That was really moving. What eloquent words.

As someone who collects photos, the last quote in particular is very profound.

A very nice tribute, Rich, and am glad you posted it. I did not know Steve but am glad I got to learn just a little bit about him.

Count me in the group that wants to honor those in our hobby who pass before us. I think we all hope to be remembered when we leave this earth.

a beautifully rendered tribute with a LOT of impact. I am going through the dementia issues with two family members now and my father and uncle have passed with the same disabling disease - it hurts quite a bit for them and those left behind to pick up the pieces - seeing a bit of light in the shadows and through the darkness seems right.
