47. I don't understand why but your post has made me very sad.

Its odd isn't it how humans bond. We have never met in person but over the years have read and appreciated you, your work and your humanity even at the times I didn't agree with you which was a small percentage of the time.

I will be thinking of you often.

Eventually we all face the tough fight against our mortality, I hope that I have as much dignity and grace as you have shown. I look forward to many more encounters in the time you have left.

Thanks for being Omaha Steve.

You are the best Omaha Steve I ever met.
