For all you guys that have read or talked to UFOSteVieZ about his cruisin wagon project,he will no longer be able to discuse about his car.Steve passed away Monday night.Steve has been a very good friend of mine for the past 8 years.His c/w was the very first project car that he bought.We talked at length about what he wanted to do with it,and was very excited about it.He will be missed by every one who knew him.
i'm so sorry to hear that, is there anything we as a community can do? He was also a Charter Member. My condolences to you and his family. Jeff
Hey there , Im so sorry to hear.
I hope that the family and you will be ok in the coming years. My Gosh he was only 43 ? Wow life is too short. :(
May the Good Lord Bless you all in coping with your loss.

From Pintony
Truly a sad day indeed, for us here on the board, as well as the "old guys" from Ohio. I didn't know Steve well , but what work we saw spoke volumes about the man. He will be missed. :'(
I am truely sorry to hear that harley. Please tell his family that our prayers are with them at this time and if we can do anything for them just let us know.
A great loss. I just met Steve a month or so ago when he came down to buy a steering wheel. He was very excited about his CW project. Sad to see him go.
Oh, wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. Was he having complications? Things like this really tear a hole in my heart. :'( I, too, wish the best for you and his family. God Bless Steve and us all.
Harley,
MAN.....
I really don't know what to say, Jeff pointed me to this thread, I missed your post until now,
Steve & I were emailing back n forth for several weeks & it just stopped.... Now I know.
He was a fantastic guy!
Let me know if FordPinto.com can help in ANY way.
Hey Jeff.We laid Steve to rest on Monday. Steve's wife Linda has been the hospital herself for the last three weeks.She has had cancer surgery.She is doing fine.There were 16 members of the United Ford Owners club that they were members of at the funeral. At the cemetery,as we left we each rev ed are engines in his oner.There were two Pintos in the presestion.
what a wonderful thing. when i read about the revs. it gave me chills and kinda warmed my heart. i want my funeral to be the same way. but id make a cruiser wagon my hearse. that was the most heart warming thing. friends of the club honoring a great guy. may he rest in peace at pinto land, aka my version of heaven.
Sorry to hear that he died, I hope he's driving around heaven in his Pinto. God bless him
Thanks Harley for your update,
Looking forward to having some kind of epitaph in this section for Steve,
Let me know if I can help the family in any way,
Scott
I have been unable to find any pictures of Steve or his Cruising Wagon.Steve was one of those guys that would give help to anyone.He loved all of his Cars.The wagon was the last one he bought.It was his first project car.He loved to autocross,Steve would bring out his Lincoln or his F-150 to run.He would go through the coarse and not hit any cones.He could tell real whoppers of stories about when he drove trucks.We'd laugh our heads off just hearing him tell them.His C/W has been bought by one of our friends,and will be built the way Steve had planned on doing.We hope to have it at Carlisle next year.It will be named Stevie-Z in his oner.Now for the sad news ,his wife Linda just passed away on Friday after battling cancer.They both will be missed,but not forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear about Steve's wife. It's hard to understand why such things happen to a
family. Steve and Linda are now together again.
