Thanks, Ian, for putting into words and pictures what so many fans around the world feel.

I am reminded of the words of a poem that was sent to me years ago:

We've heard the news, it's hard to bear.
He was so respected by all, we weren't expecting the final call...

Alas, no more will we see his face,
Alas, no more will we see him race.

The end of an era, but, a legend forever,
Perhaps God is getting his team together.

It matters not how a man dies,
But, how he lives,
The act of dying is of no importance,
It lasts so short a time.

Godspeed, Steve.
