A good friend of mine and substantial contributor to what has become an 
important element of BBS history: Synchronet, Steve Deppe, passed on on July 
10th, 2014 at the age of 56.

Steve was a significant influence on me, as a musican and programmer. He was 
indirectly responsible for the name of my BBS (Vertrauen) and came up with the 
name "Synchronet", for the BBS software I would later write with his help and 
inspiration. He and I shared many laughs by implementing user-tormenting 
features such as r0dent-write, the 'Y' restriction, and The Guru chat. Steve 
had a wicked sense of a humor and was very methodical and detailed in 
everything he did. He will be dearly missed.
