All,
I am very sad to report that Steve Larsen passed away yesterday. It happened in early evening - he suffered a heart attack while engaging in a track workout. He did not recover.
Steve was beloved by followers of at least three sports, and I share this news after his wife, Carrie, informed us that it was appropriate to let Slowtwitchers know.
Steve cared for you all, and as you know liberally shared from his library of knowledge. I was consistently struck by his grace and his even temper, his professionalism and his warmth, such qualities frankly not needed by a person of talent. He simply was just that way.
These are not our only words about Steve. We will write properly about him.
