Read him everyday, several times a day, didn’t always agree with him but learned much from him. I commented at TNB on occasion, even e-mailed him a few times. The last time I e-mailed him, he put a :) at the end of his reply. His voice will be greatly missed. </p> <p>My heart goes out to Jen and his family (both biological and virtual).</p> Jane — Beautiful tribute.

The love you put into this tribute to Steve, jumps off the page. Don’t worry about letting the cat out of the bag about Steve’s gentleness because Markos already spilled the beans :-) This year, the words “More time” keep coming to my mind. Molly Ivings, Yolanda King, now Steve Gilliard. Unfortunately, we cannot determine how much time we have with loved ones. We just have to be ready to carry the torch. On another note, I am a huge Yankees fan, so it hurt me to hear Steve trash them. I forgave him though. I’m sure he’s still very proud of his Mets…</p> Jane, so beautifully written.

Steve was so reliable. A real fighter. A real blood-boiler. One of the good guys. He could be funny as hell, too, couldn’t he?

He never ever moaned about his health. Hell, he never even mentioned it in passing. I had no idea and, from comments left on his blog when he went into hospital in February, I realized I wasn’t the only regular who had no idea.

What a smart guy. What an interesting read: Iraq, American history, the military, local and US politics, food, drink, music.

I’ll miss him dearly.

And,

FUCK THE FUCKIN’ YANKEES!
