in HIGH SCHOOL, STEVE AND I USED TO PARK IN THE EVENINGS AND SPEND HOURS TALKING. HE TAUGHT ME TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. WE WERE GOOD FRIENDS. AFTER SCHOOL, WE USED TO SPEND THE OCCASIONAL WEEKEND TOGETHER IN SAN FRANCISCO ALONG WITH ANOTHER GOOD FRIEND I HAVE THOUGHT OF HIM OFTEN OVER THE YEARS AND WAS SO SAD TO HEAR THIS NEWS TODAY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE. HE WAS AND IS MY FRIEND ALWAYS.
