Steve was a one in a thousand kind of friend to me. He loved to ride and interact with so many of us fellow riders, He past away peacefully last night. Funeral arraignments are being made and I will keep you up to date on all of it.
Talking to his wife, Steve had some sales going on with fellow members. If any thing needs to be shipped or refunded get with me and I will get it resolved. I can be reached at 352-616-8764
Lets plan a memorial ride, so we can get together and remember the great friend we all lost.
We will miss you Steve !!!!!! Ride safe in Heaven !!!!

Oh man how sad. We just texted each other a couple days ago.  I will get in touch with you steel cowboy. I sent him a PayPal this week for $125 for his led tail light and the 2 front chrome caliper covers. So sad. He was excited about his Gold Wing. He did make a ride with a group of us 2-3 weeks ago. |

Peace Brother I am happy we got to share wind on many rides together, so until we meet again Brother, u will surely be missed. Please keep us posted as we can get together and do a Memorial Ride in his honor. If there will be a funeral procession? Maybe we can lead the ride as a group? |

Sorry to hear this. He was a good man.
For those who have photos of him lets post them up and celebrate the good times with him. Agree with a ride in his honor as well.
I just lost a cousin but not just a cousin. Neal was a man that made a positive difference in my lift. The good thing that happened is that I got to see him twice this week and tell him how much he meant to me and how much of a difference he made. Not often we get to do that.
Let's honor "Tourus" with a ride.

For those that did not know Steve he is on the right. I’m not sure what the condition was called but it caused his breathing to become very difficult.  |

Oh no, that is very sad to hear. Steve is the one that replied to me initially when I posted about being in Tampa for work a couple years ago, and it was he who suggested and arranged that great day of riding and hanging out with some of you fine folks... one of my better riding experiences in recent years. We've kept in touch a bit since then and I enjoyed getting to know him, so this saddens me. Please pass on my respects to his family. R. I. P. Steve  |

I am shocked,
I recall meeting him briefly at Berts about a year ago. I was talking to him about parts in the last week or so.
I ended up getting a call from him on Tuesday from his hospital bed. He told me not to send any money yet because it would be a while before he could send the parts.
That shows what kind of guy he was. I only wish I had gotten to know him better. RIP Steve.

This picture says a lot about our friend. This Picture does say a lot RIP STEVE. This Man always had a smile on his face and greeted everyone with the utmost respect !!!! It was just 2- weeks ago my son put on a ride up to Horseshoe Beach - Steve did the whole ride on his new wing to him - With his Oxygen and no complaints - I talked to him quit a bit seeing he was struggling with his breathing - Had no idea it was this bad. Will be waiting to hear on the services - Will be riding with a large group I Am Sure to pay our respects. |

I am truly sad to hear this. I recently had the pleasure of riding with him on the Flask/Horseshoe Beach ride and he was a pleasure. True gentleman.
To his survivors...please accept my sincere heartfelt condolances.

By everybody’s comments, it sounds like he was a very nice man. I’m sorry I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting him. My condolences go out to his family. May he Rest In Peace. I will keep checking back for more information. A memorial ride does sound like a great idea.
