Damn. I’ve been out of the loop for a while and just learned this from Allen C.
Very sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Steve on the grand opening of Modern Pinball. I was the first to walk through the door, and Steve was so happy to spend a little time chatting. A couple years later I ran into him again at the baggage carousel at JFK when flying in from a red eye.
What a great guy. Condolences to his family and friends.
