Steven D. Ferguson

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Upon hearing of Steve's death through an old mutual friend, these words, from the Rubaiyat, were the first that came to my mind.

Steve was, as his brothers wrote, an extremely talented man, a true renaissance person, self-taught in so many arts.

Now the winds that too often buffeted him are grown...

Tom, My sympathy to you and your brothers in your loss. I worked with Steve off and on for many years. We had many deep conversations and he would usually leave me lost. You did a great job on the death notice. I thought Steve wrote it before he passed. With deepest Sympathy,
Ted Stec

Brother Steve, I know you would have liked to have edited my words in your death notice, but hope you find them satisfactory. Lena is a great kitty! We have Lena here at the house, and she's gaining ground with cat Raymond and dog Bear. Love You & Miss You. Tom
