Thanks for creating this site, Jodie!! What a great way to connect without intrusiveness — tho I wish I were closer so I could pop in and “intrude” with a quick visit and a hug — and a tear.

Great collection of photos! I’ll see what I can find to add. 😄

Steve, you are such an extraordinary force of nature! It’s almost beyond belief and acceptance that your body could be shutting down your zest for adventure and your loving spirit — or at least diverting them to these new and different channels. Your legacy lives on in all of us who know you! ❤️

Aloha Steve!! You are never far from my thoughts even when there are many miles between us. So grateful for the experiences I’ve had with you, you are such an inspiration to so many! Hope I can get up to HR soon and pop in for a visit. I don’t think a day will ever go by where I don’t think of our amazing channel crossing together. Truly an experience of a lifetime! Take care buddy!

Hi Steve. As your sister, I can remember so many family times shared with you. I can also think back to some memorable times from our childhood. Do your remember the time we got in trouble for using Dad’s hack saw to cut up marble from a new house being built up the street from us in Ventura? Our first lesson in tool dos and don’ts. Love, your sister Susan

Sending love to you all. Steve, you’ve been a steadfast and beloved friend. We plan to see you soon. And if you aren’t still overloaded with food maybe bring some homemade chicken soup?
