Since Steve(trnwatcher) was very active on this part of the forum, seems only fitting to post about his death here. Passed away at age 61 this morning. Really sorry to hear he's gone. He was a very regular attendee of our various gatherings, whether it be our annual message board meetups, dinners that he organized, tippy cow/culver's ice cream socials, or trips to Indiana. Visited him at his condo last fall. Such a kind guy, always going above and beyond to help others.

Obituary - visitation 5/4 6-8pm. I plan to attend if anyone else is also thinking of going: https://www.mkdfuneralhome.com/obituari ... en-f-shick
