I was deeply saddened to hear of Steve's passing while I was attending the WGA Campout at Governor Dodge State Park on May 17th.
I had the honor of caching with Steve a few times and ran into him on the trails at the Bong Recreation Area on a few other occasions. I would not say I knew Steve that well but the few opportunities I had to speak with him were all positive. He never had anything bad to say about anyone and seemed to have a very positive view on life. His passion for nature, hiking, and geocaching was quite evident and I looked forward to meeting him again on the hunt.
I wish I had taken the time to get to know you better Steve. I will remember your laugh, your smile, and your kindred spirit. Happy hunting and thanks for the caches!
