not doing well at all.......health wise

[Mike S]

Marsha,

I am sorry, but I have benn "off-site" for some time, and am very saddened to learn of your (and our) loss. Though I never met the man, I know from his many contributions to this site, that Steve was among the most generous of men, possessed of a wickely good sense of humor, and a tremendous knowledge about boating. He will be missed terribly. He rightlfully left a wonderful legacy on this site...a true gift to those of us left behind.

Warmest condolences to you and your family, Marsha

I have not been on site for a long time. Work and personal issues. Now I am sitting here crying. I am in shock. I could always count on reading with interest anything that Seapuppy wrote. When his boat hit the rock, he became a hero of mine for how he handled himself. His posts were always interesting and I always thought he would be a great person to know. I am so sorry to hear this. He was a comfort to me, although I never really knew him. I wish I had. So very sorry for his family and for all of us, Marlene

Madmarp,

I also feel the same, it's been a while bit to be honest everytime I login I think of him, from shrews fair winds and calm seas, to searching an old post, seapuppy is missed but is at rest now, I personally think its nice that people can appreciate someone they never met in person, I believe it is for this we have the web- without taking credit from anyone, seapuppy you are sadly missed may you have peace
