Yes. Such a loss. I think of Steve all the time when out there. Sometimes it seems that each cast is reaching out to touch something we both loved, both shared, and it feels like he is right there still.

Yes - 2 years. Greatly missed.

He as well as a few others on the mind again.

I did not follow S-B for some time but a little over 2 yrs. ago I started daily visits especially in the plug building forum. I remember Numby's post that Steve had passed. From what I had read he seemed like one hell of a guy, and after reading many of his posts I see why.

it is my belief that we are not just these bodies
that we inhabit.....

they are merely vehicles for our souls to temporarily reside in
to have physical contact with the earth for one sojurn of life.

Although we may miss a persons physical presense
hearing their voice and seeing their artistry
i believe they have just changed to a different plane of existence.

At some point in time the circle of life will re unite us with a
person's spirit and they are indeed present just in a different
form.

Now you may argue that no one will know this until
they make the journey themselves which is quite true but
it will provide you a sense of peace to continue on in happiness.

Im not sure if i ever met Steve or not. But his article, fishing the shadow line is on my mind when im out on block for some reason.

He spoke often about his brother, who was killed in nam, and how
he felt his close presence of after his death. He believed deeply in
the after life.

That might be one of the most beautiful sentiments I have ever read George. Very touching.

Just thinking of him today, didn't realize the date. Miss him and his insight. He had a gift for detail and another gift to relate it.
