RIP Steve AKA Barnowl - Patsfan - 07-25-2025
I spoke to Steve's wife two nights ago.
Steve passed away not long after his posts about installing an elevator in his house.
I met Steve a few times, including a couple where he was gracious enough to invite folks to his shop.
Steve was well known here as a Moderator, woodworker, frequent poster, and one of the ones who made the Christmas Auctions and other charitable ventures successful.
I was pretty broken up speaking to her on the phone, and can't find the right words even now.
I did tell her that If she found herself needing ANYTHING that Steve had a strong network of friends here both locally and across the US and Canada that would find a way to help.
Once this thread has run its course, I intend to print it out and send it to Allison.
For those wishing to send cards, PM me for an address. The cards will be forwarded from that address as mine was.

So sorry to hear that. He was one of the "senior" members when I first joined Woodnet 15 or 20 years ago. I could tell right away that he was well respected by all, and I came to realize why as time passed. I'll miss his input and advise. And you are right, if there's anything I can do from afar please don't hesitate to ask.
