RIP Steve Hudson, great guy and a very humorous contributor to the site and I am sure the world. You will be missed by all brother! ~Joe --Previous Message-- : Mark Stoddard (Lava Cable) was with him when : he passed. He had some friends and his Rev : with him in the evening. Steve didn't have : any true blood family to support him...so : being alone especially through an ordeal : like he experienced can be frightening. : Thankfully, he DID have people who cared : enough about him to be there as possible. : : Funeral arrangements are being planned, and : I will definitely post any details about : that and other pertinent issues as they : become available. : : Once again, I thank all the Steelbenders for : coming together at this time. Steve would : be harrassing each and every one of us right : now. Probably telling us we aren't doing : something right. : : He told me last week that one of his pet : peeves in the hospital was not being able to : finish a sentence before somebody would cut : him off and incorrectly translate what he : was trying to say. Of course I made point : of doing that frequently that day. I : shoulda moderated his posts here more : closely. : : Before anybody says "Steve is probably : jamming with Hendrix" and all that : stuff....remember, he was always more of a : Barry Manilow guy. : : (It's sad to sit here for a moment waiting : for his retort. He's not even here to : defend himself.) : : Oh crud...I just heard something fall over : in the studio. I better go see what that : is. : : Jason : : --Previous Message-- : RIP Brother Steve, : You will be missed and your friendship will : always be treasured. : Brother Ed : : --Previous Message-- : This definitely sucks for us. But all I can : say is, WHAT A COOL GUY! He just had a way : of brightening up your day. You never knew : what he was going to do or say but he always : put a smile on your face even if it was at : his own expense. I trust we will see him : again when it is our turn to go. : : --Previous Message-- : Steve Hudson, sometimes known as Slim, other : times known as things that can't be posted : here, died this morning at 1:06 AM EST. : : As many of you know, he was a longtime : member of the Steelbender community. Thank : you for all of the thoughts you sent his way : during his illness. : : I will miss his presence, humor and : friendship. It's difficult to let somebody : go that you care about; but given how his : physical struggles were taking an enormous : toll, I take comfort in the belief that he's : not going through the pain that he went : through this past week. : : RIP Carolina Slim. Love ya. : : : : : : :
