My wife and I both still miss Steve. He connected with my wife on GardenTenders and me on LJs. In August of 2011, Steve was traveling in the US. He stopped by for a visit and some blueberry pie. We joked that he brought an uninvited guest. The name of that guest was Irene - hurricane Irene. I remember running around in my workshop with Steve trying to get something under all the leaks that were coming through the old barn roof.

Steve was a wonderful man. He is sorely missed.

Arthur Rollins:
I became friends with Arthur and his wife after he asked for some replacement parts for a drill.  I had that same drill but it had died, so I sent it to Arthur for parts.  We exchanged Christmas cards and he sent me one of his whirligigs.  Then in one of the Christmas cards, his wife told be that Arthur had died - very sad.
