Steve wanted me to let folks know that there may be a week or so delay in correspondence and filling orders and such. His mother passed away Sunday and there are many other things he needs to handle for the next week to ten days. He knows that we, his customers and friends, will understand and he thanks us all in advance for our patience.

I speak with Steve almost every day and know of his loss. Steve is a standup guy and very honest. Steve is always running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Anyone who has ever spoken with him knows what I mean. Our blessings go out to his family...

Although I have purchased from Steve several times, I have never had the pleasure of talking with him. He is the greatest. My prayers go out to him and his family. My his Mother RIP. God Bless her.

My heart goes out to Steve and his family, I know what he is going through as I lost my Mother 4 years ago and a brother less than a year back. These early days are dark, but life must go on, you never forget them, but the pain eases with time.

My condolences to you, Steve; there really isn't much one can say in such a situation except to wish you the best and that things may start healing, as great a loss as it is.

Steve, hope you see this thread, and the sincere outpouring of kindness. Let me add that you've been kindly and friendly to me as well in our business dealings. Steve, I am genuinely sorry for your loss.
