      I too had the opportunity to meet Steven. Just as Susan had done, I visited with him a couple of times when I was in the Milwaukee area for a few days. Such fun.

      The best thing about Steven was his intellect. Next was his sense of humor. And last, but definitely not least was his great voice. It had a James Earl Jones quality. Deep, with a never ending laugh.

      It saddens me to think that voice is now silent......

        Although I only remember Steven faintly from the old @Last forum, it's always sad to see someone passing away in a way too early age... 😞
        RIP

        Cheers

            Sad tidings have a way of bringing people together. Barbara seemed to drop of the face of the earth for a while. I am happy to hear from her as and well and glad that she was in touch with Steven to the degree that she was able to inform all of us who very much care, about his passing.

            Hugs to Barbara, Kris,Mike, Chris ,Csaba, Allan, et al.

              Acutally Susan I hadn't been in touch with Steven for a while. A couple of years actually, which was my bad. Shouldn't have done that. I could at least returned phone calls, but alas I did not.

              I would often just Google his name, fearing that I might find what I found. His heart was always an issue, and he often told me he knew he would not grow old. It was inevitable.

              I posted what I found on the Forum primarily because I knew all of you would want to know. Second, I wanted him to once again be surrounded by his freinds. He loved the Forum so much, and is smiling from somewhere above. I did not want him to be forgotten.

              I am back on the face of the earth! πŸ˜„

                I'm back on the face of the earth!!!

                Actually Susan I hadn't communicated with Steven in a while. I should have, should have at least returned phone calls, which I did not. That was my bad.

                How did I find out? I would frequently Google his name, fearing I would find exactly what I found. He often told me he knew he would never grow old. It was inevitable. I wanted to know when it happened.

                I posted it on the Forum for a couple of reasons. Number one I knew you guys would want to know. The second reason was for Steven. I wanted him to once again be surrounded by his friends. Feel their love. I know how happy it would make him to be a part of the Forum with you guys again. I did not want him to be forgotten.

                Bet he's laughing that great laugh from somewhere in the beyond.

                  I didn't "fall off the face of the earth" Susan, just slid down the edge!

                  Actually I hadn't been as close to Steven in the last little while as I should have been. Didn't return phone calls or emails, which was my bad.

                  How did I find out? I would frequently Google his name, fearing I would find exactly what I found. He often told me that he knew he would never grow old. It was inevitable.

                  I posted it on the Forum for a couple of reasons. First, I knew a lot of you cared about him and would want to know. The second reason was just for Steven. I knew how much it would mean to him to once again be a part of the Forum with his friends. Feel their love. I did not want him to just slip away, to be forgotten.

                  Hopefully he's watching.....

                    Okay, I have now successfully posted three times on the same subject.

                    Oh my end it appeared the first two did not go through, but apparently they have landed.

                    Please disregard the first two!! Or all of them if you so choose....

                        We need a "like" button on this forum. That was a wonderful post Barbara.
                        It bore repeating. πŸ‘

                          Oh, as you answered I was editing my reply. See above. All 3 were equally good

                            Where is that like button when you need it?? πŸ˜„

                            Thing is, Steven's death has had an interesting effect on me.

                            He and I were very close for a long time. During a lot of that I made an attempt to do architectural illustration, which I loved. He was one of my strongest supporters. However, I have not touched a colored pencil or a marker in over six years. Yes Ray Brown, you heard me right. Have forgotten how to do SketchUp. Forgotten how much I wanted to learn Piranesi. Forgotten it all.

                            Why? Can't explain it. Just life I guess. I'm not certain Steven would buy that excuse. He would ask me why I wasn't doing what I loved. He would be so very disappointed in me, and be very vocal in expressing that disappointment in his wonderful voice. I owe it to him.

                            I think his death, and finding some of you guys again, who do feel almost like family, will help me find my way back to who I was.

                            Thanks....
