Losing Steve

I've been off the box for most of the last few days so I haven't had a chance to share directly the news of the passing of my FSU colleague Steve Gey, but I am glad that Howard, Franita and Dan have already shared some news and links that give you a glimpse of Steve's wisdom, fortitude and humor through the best and worst of times.

Losing Steve is devastating to the students and family and friends who loved him, the colleagues who admired him from near and afar, the administrators whose tasks he eased with his enthusiasm for FSU, and the world of ideas and constitutional law that he illuminated over and over again with his passion and insight.

Our bright and beautiful world is dimmer without you, Steve, and we will miss you terribly.
