Nancy- so sorry to hear about Steve. My sincerest condolences. Many fond memories from back in the Pioneer days. Think of you both when I walk down or passby Normandy (I live in the 'hood). No snapdragons... Kristi B.

Sending our love to you Nancy and the rest of the family. Just found out about Steve's passing today. We are so very sorry to hear this. Steve was an inspiration to us in regards to truth seeking in journalism. We have many happy memories of you both (and your beloved Lawton) from Danville. Laurie and Ed Tillett

Our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family, Nancy. I enjoyed working with Steve in Tampa, Bristol and Danville. His quiet determination and integrity are qualities that are found less and less often these days. He was a journalist's journalist and will be greatly missed.

There’s no way to adequately express my deepest sympathy to you, Nancy, and all of Steve’s family. But I am praying that you’ll find the peace that passes all understanding. By all measures, Steve always stood out as a serious, albeit at times goofy, journalist who wore his passion for excellent journalism in full view. My fondest memories of Steve include spirited conversations about not just what stories to chase but also how to do them right. He exuded a principled approach to everything he pursued. How lucky I am to have worked with him and learned from him. The “hey man” was generous, too, in his willingness to share his talents with others as both an editor & publisher. My heart aches.

Hey Man stayed in touch with me after he left .. a message here or there talking about bees or orchids, or work. He ALWAYS called me soon after a layoff with an encouraging message and a "hang tough." Will always appreciate his power of calm on 9/11 when all hell was breaking loose. Bob Ross and I were in the 200 newsroom when the planes hit and has Bob wrote for TBO and i made phone calls, Steve appeared from somewhere (a meeting in the 202 bldg) and said we were putting out an extra. The rest of the day was a blur, but i just remember his quiet leadership that morning ... A good man who is gone way too soon. Love to Nancy and the family.

Nancy, you and your family are in my prayers. I lost my husband to cancer last year, and while everyone experiences grief in a unique way, I understand the pain you’re feeling. I hope happy memories can at least ease some of your heartache. Sending you virtual hugs.

Steve was a wonderful man, funny and generous and smart, and a first-class journalist. He gave me a shot in a much bigger market than I'd been working, and I was determined to make him glad he did. He inspired that in people. When it was time for me to meet even bigger challenges, he was gracious and encouraging and checked back with me and was proud that he'd seen what I could be before I did. And that's a legacy to be proud of. Thanks for everything, Steve, and also to your family. Newspaper people's families give up a lot for them to do what they do. -- Stu Werner
