I do think this should be a little reminder to all of us here to be more aware of a regular seeming to suddenly stop posting. So one of us can try and reach out just to show we care.

Status: offline 		From memory he admitted to a drinking problem on the forum. That takes guts.

I was thinking the other day about the Matrix World in Flames forum. That started in about 2004 and, although the game is playable, it's not finished. I've noticed a lot of guys who posted early on, don't anymore. Obviously there are various reasons for that but I wonder how many people have just dropped off the twig? Wargamers are often older folk anyway. About 13 years of development is going to be too long for some Hopefully Steve's health holds up

Cheers, Neilster

I found his obituary in the Charleston Gazette-Mail. There is also a Find a Grave memorial for him.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Every day is a gift, that's why they call it the present.

That's one thing I remember him the most for - wanting a USMC campaign in every game. That and his love for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was a big Baseball Sim guy. I discussed Puresim Baseball with him many times and he used to post AARs on his beloved Dodgers team he managed.

BTW, I still agree with him. We need more USMC scenarios and campaigns.

That's a good thought. I think we should all realize we have a wonderful community and any time we lose anyone it is definitely a loss.
