Steve was diagnosed with terminal lung
cancer on Wednesday April 10, 2013 and was told by his Oncologist that
he had three to six months to live. Chemotherapy would extend his life
for a month or two. Steve turned down Chemotherapy and has opted to do
"The Gerson Therapy" which is a natural plant diet. "The Gerson
Therapy" has a seventy year history of curing cancer. Chemotherapy
guaranteed that Steve would die. "The Gerson Therapy" gave him hope.
Steve was getting better and was breathing well as of last fall. A biopsy was done and things were improving. His wife, Pat (a retired nurse), said the tumors in his soft tissue had shrunk. However, the cancer had metastasized into to his bone (sternum, ribs, spine) presumably after the biopsy and as of last December (2013), Steve was feeling weak and he was in a great amount of pain.
His family came to be around him in his last days until Steve passed away peacefully in his sleep at 3:45 a.m. this morning (March 4th, 2014).
More details about the memorial to follow as they become available.
We will miss Steve very much, and our prayers and well-wishes go to the family...

I met Steve and his wife when they came to a memorial dinner we had after Monroe passed. Months later, when my dear friend Joan was diagnosed with breast cancer that had metastized to her lungs, I called Steve and he was very supportive and did not hesitate to provide me with valuable information I needed to help my friend. My heart goes out to his wife and his family. He was truely one of the good guys.
GrandPoobah, you insensitive Internet forum troll. You miserable medical stooge. A friend passes, a great man in his own right, having been poisoned by the chemotherapy of pollution, the radiation of the whole radio industry, and even the medical, directly, through the few antibiotics he took. And all you can do is slap him down for choosing the only therapy that even had a chance of saving him.
We see you for what you are. Steve, himself, would have spoken out against you - maybe he did; he spoke against your kind, destroyers of the people of the world for a few measly bucks.
Your time will come. And when it does, you won't even have the little that it takes to prepare you for standing before the Judge of all the earth.
have you no shame?
Have you no conscience? This drivel can and will kill people":
