I have received word via Facebook of Steve's passing, in case you hadn't heard.
Merlin -------------------------- Beyond by: Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country -- the Beyond; And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be The home of those of whom I am so fond, They make it seem familiar and most dear, As journeying friends bring distant regions near.

Merlin, I've responded to this in the....
INTRODUCE YOURSELF [link] section above. Since I'm not a Moderator here, I couldn't simply transfer your message there, so I've taken it upon myself simply to quote your words there. I think THERE will be a better place to respond than here in the poetry section. I'll comment there, and I hope others will follow the above link there for their own sentiments. With much appreciation, and hoping to know more, Daniel

HI - thanks Eric and Daniel.
I was quite shocked when I received word yesterday, and posted an annoucement in the Neros' News (Site News) forum, to which Wally also added a lovely poem there. Please view those posts here: Click here to read Wally's poem and Click here for the announcement Steve was such a kind soul.

I posted where I thought to have greatest exposure, knowing this is not the correct place. Thanks for relaying the message, Daniel, and Lori, of course I expect the thread to be removed in due course.
Altho we are only acquainted via the cyber space, it is still a tragic event to lose another of our dwindling group. Farewell, Steve. M ······· ······· |

HI - I want to keep your post here too because it makes sense as this one gets lots of exposure.
I am having troubles trying to find the obituary on the Daytondailynews site. ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." ~ J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
