I'm afraid I have some very sad news. Our friend Steve2 passed away yesterday.

The world has just become a less funny, less ironic place.

I only found out now through his wife Merry's facebook post. Apparently he had been in the ICU for a week with a kidney infection.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with him several times over the years. He was a big guy with a big heart, and just as funny in person as he was on the swap.

So sad. I was thinking of Steve yesterday as I was searching through my recipes. I will miss him so.

along with his ready helpfulness, unique solutions and cockeyed humour.

 

[cheezz]

oh...I'm so sorry! I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but his jams were fabulous!

Stunned...

I can't believe that we were just talking yesterday about getting together with him for dinner next month. So sad.

 

[mistral]

I will much miss his posts and his recipes. . .this is very sad to hear. (nt)

Oh I feel like I've been punched in the gut! I'm so sad

 

[dawn_mo]

I am so thankful that I have been able to enjoy not only his wonderful recipes

but also his wit and humor. Rest in peace Steve.

He will be missed...

I had been thinking that we had not seen him here lately and was wondering if he was not well.

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to spent time with him and Merry during our stay in LA last year.

I will continue to think of him as I use his recipes.

Oh, this is devastating.... I had no idea he was sick....

 

[maycee]

Heartbreaking news. I'll miss his humor.

 

[angak1]

Me too. So very sad. My heart breaks for his dear CB. I just can't believe it.

I am very saddened to read this.

He was a kind man that reached out to me via email and shared a little bit about his life, but I had not heard from him in a long while.
RIP

 

[elaine]

This is so sad. He had such a sense of humor and such great recipes. I

remember him always being helpful with answers and imagine he
was that kind of a helpful person. RIP

I'm saddened to read the news. Steve was one of the first people I chatted with at Gail'. His

wonderful sense of humour will be missed but thankfully he will be remembered when his fabulous recipes are prepared.

 

[melissa-dallas]

No, no, no! I'm so sad to hear this.

 

[barb_b]

I am at a loss for words. Such sad news. Thoughts, prayers and condolences to CB and family. I

will miss his recipes and humor. This is just so sad....

 

[gayr]

How terribly devastating.....we have lost another treasure.....I was just thinking the other day

while searching for recipes how many wonderful people we have lost. Steve will be missed greatly.

 

[charlie]

Tragic news--we will all miss him

 

[deb-in-mi]

Just stunned. And so very, very sad. Will miss him so. Joe

I don't know Merry and don't want to intrude but can you let her know how much he was adored and will be missed.
