We have lost a good friend.

Post by samdog1966 »

Our good friend Steve (F7 BIGJOB), passed away unexpectedly last night. He was a good friend and will be missed. I talked to Steve yesterday and was to meet him and his daughter this morning for a truck tour with a local truck club. I called him this am and was told the bad news by his sister in law. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Dang! There is simply too much of this going on!

I only knew Steve (F7 BIGJOB) through this site, but i always enjoyed reading what he had to say and always appreciated what he shared with me and the SLICKS60s bunch. I am sure he will be missed by many.

My condolences and prayers for his family.

Never met him in person but he sounded like he was only in his early to mid 50's. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

I just say this as I haven't been on the site much lately. So sorry to hear about Steve. Never met him in person, but we chatted back and forth on here about the big trucks.
RIP.
