Hi, Friends,
I wish the news could have been better but it isn't.
Steve suffered a stroke a few months back, and during his treatment the doctors discovered advanced cancer of the esophagus. He fought as long as he could, but this cancer cannot be cured. Steve passed away on Thursday evening, June 3rd.
Steve was a super guy, a brilliant machinist and a valued friend to many of us. If you knew him, you're going to miss him.
We tried to help him find a home for his car on the board, and a few of you responded with very generous offers. His wife Cathy thanks you all for your kindness and consideration.
At the moment, it appears that Steve's son Shawn is making arrangements to keep the car, but this is still up in the air. If this doesn't work out, your offers will be considered when the family is better able to address them. Please be patient till then, and Cathy will contact you when she can.
If you would like to send a card, please address it to:
Cathy Striharsky 17 Maple Avenue Kings Park, New York 11754
Services will be held on Sunday, June 6:
Clayton Funeral Home 25 Meadow Road Kings Park, New York 11754 631-269-6421 Hours are 2:00-4:30 P.M. and 7:00-9:00 P.M.
Monday: 9:00 A.M. at Clayton Funeral Home 10:30 A.M. Mass Resurrection Byzantine Catholic Church Corner of Edgewater & Mayflower Avenues Smithtown, New York
Warmest regards,

My deepest sympathies to his family. If there is something specific we can do, count me in. I'm looking at the ten-count myself.

Terrible new. My sincere sympathies to the family. Steve was one of the few people on this earth that actually did build one of these cars...to a very high standard.

Steve was so very quiet, humble. I wish I had known him.
Now let us reflect - some of us Olde Phartes (me being one) might consider who/what we bequest our favorite car, a Bradley. I am in the ten-count and I hate to think my modest, not-so-great GTII will go to some estate auction. At a loss, I am, MJ (Mad John - not angry, just enthusiastic), in real life I am John Stafford.
We haven't a legacy here. Or do we?
Gosh, don't let our stuff go to a sell-off with all kinds of buzzards bidding on what we left unattended.
I leave this thread with quiet respects to Steve, and his family left behind.
Peace

So sorry to hear. Anyone that was lucky enough to meet him knows he was such a great guy. We'll miss you man! Steve at Carlisle 2005 with his yellow hair to match the new yellow interior. Myself, Dave Parillo, and Steve at Terryville CT 2005
