[CT-NFB] sad news posted on Facebook

[Trudy Swenson]

Oh! This is very sad news! A terrible loss. I have many memories of Steve’s
patient good cheer and kindness, helping us learn and adjust to the latest
technology. I always thought of him as a whiz kid.
My sincere condolences go out to all of Steve’s friends and family. May his
memory be a blessing.
