WHAT STEVE LOVED:WHAT STEVE LOVED:“Diane, a strange dream to
report: I dreamt I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop. I
awoke to realize I was aggressively munching on
one of my Air-Pillow Silicone Ear Plugs. Hence the
tastelessness. I suspect some unexpressed feeling of
aggression is responsible.”

Regardless of the contempt & disdain he had for certain things, the truth is that Steve would go great lengths to make us all laugh, albeit sometimes uncomfortably. He liked neither
the ordinary nor the outrageously cute. He reserved disdain for the greedy and for those who took advantage of their fellow man. He loved life, and I know he will love the next
world he finds himself in. For us, however, his loss renders our world a less progressive & far less interesting place.
