I am saddened to hear about Steve's passing. He was just posting a few days ago. He was a kind, gentle man and will be missed.

Awww, that is so sad!
I had the pleasure of talking to him a couple yrs back via emails. We talked about our plants, mainly his extended and gorgeous collection. Out of the blue. he offered me some generous cuttings from a Monsterio Delicio that was growing out of control in his fantastic greenhouse which I will forever cherish.

Thank you Steve (Exoticrainforest) You and your knowledge will be missed!

Toni: This man was extremely influential in the way I look at certain plants.

He will be so missed and so will his up todate information!
I will be re-reading a lot of what he wrote in the past for sure. This place will not be the same without him.:-(

I will post a picture of a plant he helped me out with that just would not do anything for me for the longest time until I learned of it's habitat thanks to Steve.

My condolences to his family&friends...

It's a great loss for everyone, especially his family.
He was so giving, so forward, and always answered promptly and with great enthusiasm.
I am still shocked. But I am also blessed that he shared his last days with us.
