A couple of years before his untimely passing, my nephew Frank and I spent a day along the Elizabeths with Steve and were suitably impressed as he worked a Heddon flaptail copy that he had carved. A number of good fish were caught by that plug and I have taken to collecting flaptails from past and present; I don't know if this makes sense, but they kind of keep Steve's memory alive for me. I learned a great deal from him and I hope that Debbie and the girls always remember how much he meant to other, both in terms of fishing and just the person he was. Good men can't be replaced, just remembered.
