My condolences to the family and friends of Steve. Although I never met him in person,

I hate to see this. He had helped me on tower project in his county, and we had been discussing narrowbanding on a mailing list - and how it was going to affect his Fire Departments.
He was a good one.
He was a good one.
Wow, sad, sad, news. I talked with him quite a few times here on the boards and watched his countdown to retirement in his sig line for the last few years. It's not fair, he didn't even get to enjoy retirement
RIP man..

I was shocked when I saw the headline. I chatted with Steve a few times on here and he was as nice as could be. Rest in peace.

I was shocked when a friend posted Steve's obituary on NENA's 9-1-1 listserv. I always enjoyed reading his posts, here and in the other forums. Not only did he serve his community, Steve took the time to interact with us, always in a helpful and factual way, a model for us all. Like some other people observed, I watched his retirement countdown, too, and was rooting for the day he'd be enjoying a tropical climate, watching the waves rolling in, an exotic drink in one hand and his scanner in the other, listening to other people at work. Hope he's there now. 73 OM -- KB8FAR-SK.
I'm saddened to read that. I didn't know Steve but I always enjoyed reading the information he posted. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
Steve was a good man and my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this tough time. He is in a better place now.
Steve- Thank you for your support of the hobby over the years.

A Public Servant
Did not know this gentleman, but based on the comments he must have been a true public servant.
God Bless his family - and all of you who serve and protect.

Steve, Thanks for all your contributions to this fine hobby. Gallia Co. & the Wilson family have my deepest sympathies!
Lindsay or Wayne - on another forum I belong to, when a member passes, their user account is labeled with a custom title such as "RIP (date)" etc and locked down in memoriam. Any thoughts of doing something like that?
