Can't believe Steve is Gone

We were on our TA/British Isles cruise and on an excursion in Lisbon which had Wifi access. I was looking through my emails and saw an email from Audrey saying that Steve had passed away the day before.  What a shock.  he wasn't sick and they had just moved into a new house in Delaware.
