I am one of many European Sacred Harp singers who will so greatly miss Steve's energetic leading and his great enthusiasm for Sacred Harp. Also I am one of many newer singers who he encouraged.
I am so very grateful to have known him and to have had the chance to sing with him in Cork, Ireland, and in the US.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Steve began singing Sacred Harp music in Eugene, Oregon with our group, but went on to sing in many other places before his death. We will be having a memorial gathering for him in Eugene on March 24 at the Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High St. for his friends here and anyone else who wants to come share their stories about him.
My condolences to his family and friends all around the country, indeed, around the world, where he went to sing.

To Steve’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Steve, as many did, from singing Sacred Harp music. He was unfailingly generous and encouraging to me as a new singer. I enjoyed his sense of humor. I saw him a few months ago in Davis California for the singing that he organize there for his friend Pat, and was heartened to see he was doing better. I’m so sorry it didn’t last long. I will miss him a great deal, he leaves a big hole in the world. I will add that I also lost a sibling unexpectedly, and it is deeply shocking experience.

Facebook and the Sacred Harp sites are full of shock and sadness at Steve's premature death. He was a familiar figure at singings from Sitka Alaska to Warsaw in Poland and many places in between. He was an accomplished singer, leader and arranger He was a great help to those less experienced than himself. He would draw people in, make them feel part of the community and help them to perform to their best. Who can forget his energetic leading, left hand behind his back or his love of 528, Showers of Blessings.
Rest in Peace.
