A moment of silence, please.
I heard from his family and Mike Vessey, https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/author/mvdba, passed away on 25 Jun 2020. I was pleased to meet Mike and host him on a panel at one of our SQL in the City events a couple years ago.
If I hear more or have an obituary notice, I'll post it here.
Oh, lordy... another good one gone. So sad.

If Steve finds an obit link and you worked with him, please think about leaving a post on the memorial stating what impact he may have had on you. I found it very comforting when my grandfather passed reading stories about him interacting professionally or as an educator to people. I knew he did some of that, but it was different to hear from the people who felt he was important to them.

I don't often post here ( forced retirement due to current pandemic); but he was one of the guys whose advice I would read and heed. A sad day.

I've decided to add my name to the list of Steve's around here. My first post on SSC was about 1 year ago. When I signed up I wasn't sure what was the right to go. Seems like a good time to get rid of the old 'scdecade' anonymous screen name.

Then you must not be familiar with the FLDSMDFR (pronounced "fl-dzz-mm-duh-fur"), the inspiration for all my acronyms at work. Now I have to go build a function with that name that does....something....only works if you put input as "water" and returns random foods...

In the "old" system, we used to be able to get RSS feeds from people's blogs. Is that possible now? I don't see that option when I'm at https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/author/RSP

Checking, Wayne. Not sure where these might be. I thought WP generated these automatically.
