Ben, I feel sorrow for your loss, but I do have words. As myself and my friends age it is easy to do some introspective thinking. Your friend Steve sounds as though he had a life well lived, well lived. Brave, talented, respected, loved. What more can any of us possibly ask from our limited time here on earth. I say, "Huzzah Steve, I wish all of us here could have known you as Ben did." Having Ben's admiration speaks volumes about the man. Here here! God Speed Steve.
