The Model T World lost a great one. He will be greatly missed by the Eyre family. Steve always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. Gone way too soon! The Model T hobby was a better place with him in it.

You are right Don. We have lost a great Model T person & friend. Steve had such a great knowledge of the Model T Ford. He was always willing to help & share his passion for the Model T.

I first met Steve and his family back in 1991 at the Gulf Shores, AL tour. He had his 1911 touring with 2 or 3 of the kids in the back seat. I was 11 at the time so my memory is a bit foggy. What a great guy. He and my dad got along well, probably because they were both younger men with families in an otherwise old retired guy hobby, lol.
