Suzie and kids,



It has been so long since I've seen Steve but his influence has stimulated me each and every day of my life. I think of him all of the time. His spirit is within each for an eternity. Steve's high energy, his belief in the eventual progressiveness of all humanity and love for people will always be there for us to draw on. Thank you, Steve - thank you. Thank you, Suzie for having such a wonderful life-mate. Thanks to the kids for having a father like no one else. My love and thoughts go to you all.

My deepest sympathies to you, Suzie. I'm sorry I can't be there now. It was great to see you in April, after so long.



Steve's effect on ALL of our lives was profound; he made us believe in our own abilities. He was the kind of person who made things happen and turned ideas into reality.



Just knowing he was present in the world was a great comfort I will miss.
