Loss of a good friend

[jlalibe]

A special person has left us but is now smiling down on us. I first met Steve 11 years ago when he was my first supervisor. I will never forget his unmistakable cynicism which coated his exterior. I don’t think he ever realized his gooey, caring insides could be seen through his transparent shell. This thought always came to my mind: “Big guy in a little body.”
We'll miss you, Steve.

I, like Andy cannot really find the words to say, but I will try.

Karen and I first met Steve and Eileen last year on the 2008 Run to the Sun trip. I met up with Steve on a couple more runs this year, and spent last weekend with them on the 2009 Run to the Sun trip.

While I had only known Steve for a year, he was one of those people that you felt like you had known all of your life. He will truely be missed.

RIP Steve.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Eileen and the rest of Steve's family and friends.
