I never met Padeye, but I read his posts often enough that I feel I knew him well. I will surely miss him. He was a warm, witty man.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Cindy, I offer my condolences to both you and all others who might be missing Steve.
He was a solid contributor here, but, more importantly, in real life he was a great guy. Gonna miss ya, bud. Good luck.
I’m glad you found each other. My sincere condolences. Padeye will be missed.

I am so sad to see this; he was one of our Dopers from way back and always appreciated.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I was shocked and saddened by your news and my heart goes out to you.
Sorry to hear about this. Looking through some of Padeye’s old posts, I came across this thread, which really seems to show what a caring and nice person he must have been.
My prayers are with you.
My sincerest condolences.
I’m so very very sorry for your loss.
Condolences and warm memories - he was a neat poster.

I’m so very sorry. 
This is terrible. Please except my deepest condolences. Padeye was a very well-respected member of our community and an ignorance fighter of the first water. We are diminished without him.
I am so sorry for your loss, and for all of our loss here at the 'Dope.
You and your family are in my thoughts.
my condolences.
My thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
I really liked Padeye. He even offered to take me shooting on more than one occasion, but I never was able to meet him despite all my trips to Phoenix. It seems like I just remembered him telling me about it and I can’t believe he’s gone so soon. I’m so very sorry to learn about this today.
