Words never work for me in these situations. I found out about Steve's death yesterday and have been in stunned disbelief and sorrow ever since. Steve was one of the very first friends I made in NC when I moved here in 1985. We met because each of us were foolish enough to jump into cold water at Optimist Park at 5:30 am every week day, and our friendship grew from there. We did outdoor stuff together, took kayak rolling classes, and did stuff with our sons who are the same age. After I stopped swimming so much I was delighted to be able to cycle with Steve, and we did the MS150 together a few times including last year. It will be a long time before the hurt of his loss fades, and I can't imagine how Jan and Michael must feel.
Steve lives on in my memory as a generous, gentle, fun guy. Not being able to see him, ride with him, or even say goodbye really hurts. Making donations to Steve's MS web site is a great way to celebrate Steve's life and ideals. Being able to do it felt good and just right.
