We've arranged to have Flickr keep his account via "In Memorium" in the not too distant future, at no charge to his family. . . . People should be able to Comment and or Fave a photo Steve posted. Since New Activity now requires a password, your questions won't be seen by me through moderation. Keep enjoying Steve's wonderful site when Memorium status is invoked by (slow, slow) Flickr.
. . . . . . .
HOWEVER --
When that happens ... I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POST OR ANSWER QUESTIONS VIA "New Activity." So if you have questions or other correspondence it must go to my Flickr Acct. which is here:

I got this photo of Steve while on a hike at First Sister Lake in the summer of 2015.
We held a Memorial for Steve on 10 December in Ann Arbor at Steve's church. We who spoke mentioned this memorial Flickr post and all the respect and love that poured out from Flickr members on six continents, due to Steve's work and to his personal touch in communicating with them about THEIR photographs. We were a big group of Steve's friends and loved ones, and everything went without a hitch. There were tears and smiles both. We are planning a second ceremony in the spring when the remains will be lain to rest (when the weather is more appropriate for a large gathering of folks out of doors). Thanks again to Martin for this post, for all his help on Facebook and Flickr, and to all of you thousands who viewed below and to the memories of Steve's presence here.

P.S. Steve and his friendship and skill are the reason I ever moved to Michigan!
