Dave Ferris Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi everyone. I'm sorry to have to be bearer of sad news. Steve's partner of the last nine years, April, passed away early Friday morning from complications of a brain tumor. She was 49. I spoke with Steve yesterday and he's doing fairly well under the circumstances. I'm not sure he will respond here but I'm certain he'll appreciate everyone's thoughts, condolences and prayers in this very difficult time. https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending love, strength and peace, Brother.

Mark Schmieder Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Geesh, that's awful. My thoughts are with you, Steve. This is the fourth time in a week that someone (or their loved ones) on one of my main two forums has died. Someone on the other forum commented that we tend to think of far away forum buddies as immortal, not realizing what struggles they are going through with health etc. off the net.
