I can only echo what everyone else has said, I will miss our phone conversations, always a fun guy to be around and like has been said he did so much to help people in all aspects of their lives most will never know....condolences to all, Steve left some big shoes to be filled.

I had hoped that 12 hours would make it a little easier but I was wrong. Maybe in 12 months, we shall see. There are many stories I could tell when Steve touched Ann and my life as well as others but I won't. As per Steve's wishes, he very much enjoyed helping others yet wanted nothing more but to remain anonymous. That was who Steve was and that is what made him happy, seeing others smile. The list of things Steve did for us as well as others was incredible. Steve had one of the biggest most caring hearts of anyone I know. I just talked to him a couple of weeks ago and had no idea he was in such pain and I now feel ashamed that I did not come to his aid when he needed us the most. Rest in Peace my friend, may God find a better place for you and keep you away from some of the demons here on earth.

I only met him once, when he gave out sYc hats to everyone at the Super Car Reunion in 2006.
He struck me very much as a man who lived by the wisdom that virtue is its own reward. Nothing in life is more important than having a good name.
My condolences to the Sandlin family.

Very sorry to hear the bad news.

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet this gentleman, but from what I know of him he sounded like an outstanding human being. But, I do know this . . . . . . that a person that anonymously helps out others less fortunate without having an ulterior motive or looking for praise is a fine human being and the world is a much poorer place everytime a person of such genuine compassion towards others leaves this plane for the next one. That's the kind of role model we should all strive to be in our lives and the world would be a much better place.

Man, that is just tragic! He helped me get some info on some cars in the past, and also got some of his free hats at the Reunion. As soon as he heard I had some heart issues 3 or 4 years ago, he sent me the nicest e-mail giving support and telling me to hang in there, and talked ever so briefly about his own problems. He will be missed in the hobby as well as everywhere else. Rest in peace Steve. I always thought that anyone that can sign there letters/e-mails with "SS" was right off the cool factor right off the bat!

Steve was a one of a kind. Hearing of his passing saddens me deeply. My heart goes out to his family. He always treated me and my brother like his other sons. We have lost a true original here.

I never knew Steve but heard nothing but good things about him. It is sad to lose another good guy in the hobby.

I met Steve out at one of the SCR several years back. Actually I met Beth first. I was looking at his Lafferty sold RS ZL1 car and Beth came over to me, my sister and my pop and introduced herself. After a talking for a bit, she waived Steve to come over. We probably spent a half hour or more just talking about cars and the connection we all make to them. When I think of Steve, I think of that car. He sure has owned a lot, but that is my connection.

Throught that weekend, I saw a lot of Steve and Beth. I learned how generous they were too. They left a lasting impression that really gave me more perspective on things that Steve would post. What great people!

I've been thinking about Steve all day and have felt the weight in my stomach. I always try and look at the glass as half full. The world is a better place because of Steve and he will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Beth and thier family.
