So sad to hear of his passing.....   He was easy going when came out and
visited us California
Crazies a few years back.    I remember him following me (my niece and I)
in his orange 76/77/78?
bay camper on are way back to Sacramento for a while.   Forgot where he was
heading to back then
but I think he got to where he wanted to go now....

RIP Steven,   You will be missed....

Steven
91 Westy
