Devastating news. Steve was one of the smartest guys I ever knew, yet disarmingly humble. He had a knack for challenging me and my thoughts, and leaving me glad that he had. And he snagged Netzer (still envious). Hugs to you, Mary.

My sincere sympathy to the entire Erceg family. I worked with Steve in his preunion official days at the old Villard Station in the early 80's. It was quite a crew of characters. Wally "Gator, Rusty Jones, Gary Bergman"Missile", Crazy Larry, Penguin, Smiley, Weasel, others and of course myself, "Rocket". Those were the days before scanners, dps, GPS, etc. Truly, the "good old days" Steve was a great guy.
